Show WHAT'S THE iUS'E? "England protests against Canal Bill."-News Item. Oh, "mother country," thus you're named By just a few who still maintain You are as In the old days famed And that you show no signs of wane; Why do you plant such constant kicks Eternally against the bricks. The continental countries you Perchance, at times, may hap to bluff, Although it palpably Is true They've oft-times bade you: "Hold enough;" But prithee give this land a rest, Spare us the whinings you protest. If we proclaim averse from free, Or if indeed firm closed to all, The Panama Canal shall be, It shall be; cease such ohlldlsh brawl. Just now dire troubles fill your cup, Do as it never will; dry up. The Patriot. |
