(By Dr. J. W. Lynch)

"His tongue is made of whitleather,
His words are shotted lead,
He lifts you like a downy feather,
And stands you on your head.

"He speaks the ear off a frog,
The hair from the 'possum's tail,
Routs the fleas off a mangey dog,
Electrifies the pokey snail."He moves the could to weep in rain,
Or breaks an elephant's back,
He stops a Seaboard Air Line train,
And speaks it off the track.

"He speaks the bark from forest trees,
The feathers off a goose,
Breaks the spell of the Pleiades,
And turns the Orion loose.
