Show THE COLONELS. By Tod Goodwin. Oh, presidents, and potentates, and others of your ilk, Take heed of our new governor, whose work is line as silk; And next when on your staffs you mean to put a classy guy, Just send a billet doux to Bill, whose other name is Spry. For in his staff of life that is, official life he knows Just the pioper person for tjie place the person goes. And with Loose as commissary, there will be no cause to mourn But Will the corn be in the Colonels or the Colonels in the corn? The commissary general, ho is Colonel C. E, Loose, la a maa of vast experience and neve,r so obtuse As to fail to heed a signal from a brother officer, In case a fine official tongue is coated thick with fur. And so it is with happiness, they welcome Colone1 Ed, And compliment the choosing by the broad official head. Ii uniforms of blue and brass, the landscape they'll adorn But Will the corn be in the Colonels, or the Colonels in the corn? 1 Says Colonel Kessler: "Colonel Loose, I feel a little fajnt." Says Colonel Loose to Colonel K.: "Huh! who In here ain't?" Says Colonel Jackling: "Colonel Loose, my Utah Copper's hot, Out on the target range you know ." "come on," says Loose, "Why not?" Says Colonel Wright to Colonel Loose: "I will I prescribe for two." Says Colonel Newhouse riding up: "Well, Ed, the same to you." And Badger, Daynes and Booth arrive, not one of them forlorn. For The corn is in the Colonels, not the Colonels in the corn. |
