Ogden Daily Standard | 1916-09-02 | Page 14 | A Mule to Sell

! A MULE TO SELL. A country newspaper prints this obituary: Beneath this mound lies Edward Jones, Let's hope that peace has found his bones. We don't know why he bought that mule, To purchase it he was a fool, For that old lop-eared, long-necked brute At kicking surely was a beaut, And ev-rybody knew as much, What some men do sure beats the Dutch. It gave Ed just one gentle shove, And pushed him to a home above. His widow stood it fairly well, But now she has a mule to sell, A moral can be noticed here. Approach no mule, friend, from the rear, For if you do 'twill seldom fall, Your widow'll have a mule for sale. St. Louis Globe.
