THE BIG FIGHT
BY LOUISE MASON

At last the fight is over
And we have no cause 10 weep;
our Champ has kept his title
Now lay me down 10 sleep
some fight fans picked Bob Pastor
For the next champion OF the world
because Bob has had more schooling
wouldn't II make your whskers curl?
I'm talking 10 all America
Now listen II you please.
You don't need a course from Emily Post
To knock a mar down TO his knees
Joe never went TO college,
He's not Harvard man.
He only knows his Bible
And that's the best book in the land
wonder how Mr.. Johnson feels
After yelling loud and long,
How Bob would win the fight
And take the title on?
you cant whip Joe by talking
You've really got 10 fight
Just take II from the world at large,
Our Champ packs dynamite.
lot of men have fought joe
lie left some nearly dead
Another Pastor rushes in
Where angels fear TO tread
Joe didn't only win fight
He had 10 win a race
Win Pastor doing the jtterbug.
Keeping leather out OF his face.
