 pipping,
 To hear these tough guys a fibbing,
 It surely makes me ripping. think Dan McCrcw.

 And I'll bet lot. If at him took a shot.
 I'd find him n lot of bunk. Now Honely Bill
 Don't be Sil. ... But be a dear man fine,
 Get out your pen. And start again.
 To drop dear LII line. Never mind Pug Ugly Joe.
 Cause he's a guy, you do not
 '~ know.
 In this dear world, tough guys arc
