full of political ghosts and there WIZ

He proceeded then to recite as follows:
Tell me now where Horace Mann s.
Col Mann, that Southern doush man;
Tell me, too, where Donovan is
Bill, the wild and woolly Roman?
Where is Mabel, lady showman?
Has she gone-or is she near?
She brought grief to each Rum ROW man
But where are the SHOWS OF yesteryear2
where's Jimmy Burke, the dandy one
Burke, whom Hoover leaned on;
And old Doc Work, that NANCY one,
When % careened on?
Why Huberts doses he was weaned on,
And now no Hubert answers, Here.
Where has that lofty bean" gone?-
But where are the SHOWS OF yesteryear?
And where, I pray, is George Barr Baker?
He was Hoovers goodwill censor.
