Show When Mr. Spry Is Marshal. By Angus Nicholson. When Mr. Spry, as Marshal bold, parades the avenue With falcon eye for fugitives whose morals are askew, Will his methods not recall that glorious Legion of Nauvoo? When Mr. Spry is Marshal? And if Mr. Spry descended from his 'high official perch And polygamists and preachers should reward his sleuthful search, Would he not be first informed about their standing stand-ing in the church? When Mr. Spry is Marshal? When Mr. Spry is Marshal of our great and growing state How will the brethren frolic then, and what will be the fate Of that glorious set of gentlemen on Brigham Street and State? When M Spry is Marshal? If Cowley came and Taylor, too, each with his latest bride And several other Sarahs and some Hagars at their side; Would the two polygs conceal themselves or would the Marshal hide? When Mr. Spry is Marshal? And if with writs the Marshal sought King Joseph Jos-eph on his throne And found that through a grave mistake the Prophet Pro-phet hadn't flown; Would it be because he misconstrued the Prophet's Pro-phet's telephone? When Mr. Spry is Marshal? And if the Marshal thus should force the Seer to testify Till there yawned before his startled gaze the penitentiar-i, Would anyone change places with poor Marshal William Spry? When Mr. Spry is Marshal ? |
