Show H Reed and Tom. H n eat seniors, mildly buffet him, our senatorial H pride, H we sent him to you buoyantly, his colors flaunt- B ing wide; H From green-girt Provo's lowing herds we sent H him forth in state B The pagan hosts of Ostro-land to cheer and edu- m cate. B To flash the Mormon beacon, parley, argue and H dispute B And he may make you Mormons all, this lofty B Mr. Smoot. B And now the priceless pearl of all our ranks has B gone to you, Bi Tho peerless Joseph F., endowed with vag'ries B not a few; B And while the rites conjugal gave him maidens H ten or more B Wo hope you'll give the President the privilege B of the floor; B And he may ask, as in his eyes the light celes- B tial burns: B "If yu are soing to hurdle Smoot, why not oust, B Mr. Kearns? B "For know ye, subtle seniors, we sent Thomas B from the "West B Because his bid was highest and his lucre looked B tIie best; B So if our ways political move with an alien quirk B Of ways there are a pair in which this ousting B stunt may work; B So thus we hope you'll send us Tom, in manner B Just as fleet, B If taPs are sounded over Reed and absence fills B his seat." So Joseph F., the mighty, may perchance convert you all And cause a change of residence to heights of Israel; To join our aerial legions and our priests and seers obey . And sing Smith's praise by night-tide, though you liquidate by day; But if you think Reed's presence will retard your moral growth Leave not T. Kearns in loneliness arrange to oust them both. |
