KICKED BY AN ASS.
WITH APOLOGIES TO READERS.
[by odr P.D.] Have you heard of the latest ? Right here, then, I’ll tell— It’s a secret no longer Creaky Spokes isn’t well! His head’s fairly swimming— Mumbles, mutters and moans— Oh ! it’s awful to hear him : “Not elected,” he groans. Dark despair o’er his features As he ambles in sight, “Unsuccessful, ray combine! Still we fought a good fight. Even Wharf Rat’s been routed ; Let the Growler still roar! Egad ! Foxton is moving— Soon to squirm neath our paw. Socialitis aint dying! Fools think so, no doubt— O, comrades, I’m shaky—beginning
to rock — Send quickly, I prithee— Softly waken the Doc : I’ve been struck on the vitals, alack
and alas ! Lo, I’m sinking, my comrades—been kicked by an ass !”
