Show THE SENATE SENT IT BACK. (Dedicated to nearly any State legislature.) The members of the house one day were working work-ing on a bill; They filled it chock with poppycock just wild enough to thrilll, And "when It was completed, and nothing seemed to lack. They sent it to the senate, but the senate sent it back Said the thing was out o'whack. So the house piled more amendments to the hurly-burly stack; Viewed their work with calm conviction, and with nerve more strong than knack They sent it to the senate, but the senate sent it back. Tho senate sent a message that was tinctured with a slur "In these absurd amendments the senate can't concur." But the house grew wild with fury, and said: "We'll have no slack." So they sent it to the senate, but the senate sent it back Said the house was out o'whack; , They hoped that some Samaritan would put them on the track. But the house, as mad as fiddlesticks, just wouldn't tand the crack They sent it to the senate, and the senate sent it back. ' Life. |
