And, furthermore, 'tis Budkins' view That Brown and Black and Mooney And Jones and Johnson. Perkins, too, Are just the least bit looney. He cites the way that Higgins walks, The style of Griggson's collars. The stammer with which Roberts talks, MeGlue's wild chase for dollars. The slavish way that Murphy works.
