Not So Bad

The late campaign was going
strong, and oft l heard the voters
say, IF we don't beat this Wright
B. Wrong, the Nations bulwarks
will decay; too long, geewhillikens
too long he's drawn the sheriff's
ample pay" In certain of the pub
lie prints | learned he was a soulless
boss, and there were dark and griev-
Gus hints that he had swiped wild
ow's hoss; large type and ink of lurid
tints denounced him as total loss.
The platform speakers belted him
with burning words that left their
mark; they fairly tore him limb
from limb and threw the fragments
in the park: they said, with vio-
lence and vim, he was a vampire,
ghoul and shark. So on election
morn l rose; l thought l saw my
duty clear; "I'll soak this scoundrel
on the nose," / said, "and also on
the ear ,Pll vote against him with
his foes, who've shown he is man
to lear" l voted oft, voted long,
l went to every polling place, and
put a crimp in Wright B. W-ong,
though / had never seen his face !;
/ war against the. man or tong
that's prone to traffic in disgrace.
Next day / met this sinful man, who
stirred men up to bitter ire, whom
they declared an also-ran, a villain
stepped in muck and mire; / found
him built on kingly plan, as proper
as | could desire. Hereafter when
l seek the polls to cast my vote with
tranquil mind, to bring some states
men to their goals, and drop some
other ones behind, / shall not heed
the rigmaroles OF, those who have
an Ak to grind.
