Mason City |
Came a card marked Mason City |
From my forwarder |
Shut the door, don’t let my dad see; |
Read aloud dear sir: |
Understanding you account an upright gent- |
Lemen Aetna Life agreed and lent |
As agreed, my fee is 2.6 percent |
Write again the Riceville widow |
SASE |
I would guess they’ll be turned out though |
I’ll still make my plea: |
If the Dunlay heirs cannot be seen to care |
Then the Banker’s Trust will surely think it fair |
To not give extensions, as they musn’t dare |
Write Des Moines on several matters |
And I near anoint |
Ladle thick the pleasant flatters |
And then comes the point; |
Mr. Nelson wouldn’t like to hear it said |
As he’s too proud, so I do it in his stead: |
He shall need an extension--so it read |
--Take the Oregon Short Line to Salt Lake; |
Take the Pere Marquette, take the Michigan Central |
To West Madison for Christ’s sake |
Forgemen, Molders, Blacksmiths, Boilermakers |
None on the make |
Up for shade on Crumb Hill |
Get something to make my hands still |
But now--Wait |
How are you my nabs? |
Little tender footed crabs |
Meet my knuckle duster |
You geeched that gazoon’s gow |
Tried to break into the bow: |
Go wipe your nose |
I’m just hanging out with some noler knockums |
Just passing time waiting till my stack comes |
Prussian who got jackered |
My snapper till your knockered |
Get on the snam |
The chivman wants your chip; |
Better dummy up then go dip: |
You’re outta turn |
I learned that the lowest form of life is the buffer nabber |
Even worse than the dicer stabber |
