Fake wires come in on wings of speed,
Detective Burns Is in the lead.
Poor Calvin's called a new word every

The whole darn countrys out of gear,
This kind Of oils no good to smear
Upon the wheels of our democracy.
The storks bring babies overweight.
The Kaiser's sons in New York state,
And bathing girls take dollles in
the sea.
Now that the Spring Is drawing near,
More Congressman are off of beer,
Because the Winter winds no longer
That bankers wife whose case you've
heard,
Was not allowed her final word
Is that sign that things are normal

The D. A. RS on yesterday
Had one grand scrap, to while away
The tedious tediorum Of their stay.
And when Sam Gompers tells his bunch,
They's got to stand by one good bunch,

Except for about ten years we
