The Ku Klux Klan
(By Zena Brewer*
I
What Is a Ku Klux Klan?
An honor, a pride, a Joy, to any man
Why with their robes of ghostly white?
They wander and peer around at night
Simply because, they'll find the still,
With- lecture and warning give the
stiller a fill, -
At the widows, door here comes a man
With a bill from the Ku Klux Klan
To educate hjr boys, and buy lier
baby toys.
To help fn any way they can,
For therfr Daddy was a member of the
Ku Klux Klan.
II
wnat good- are the K. K. K.'s?
They help our Country in many ways,
They deprived the sot, or the moon
shine,
And tell him how he must spend his
dime,
They take the cross and great deman
der,
Bid him shake hand with -Alexander,
They take the oath at Jesus cross,
To do what is right and not to boss,
Unless some woman or a man,
Should break the law of th# Ku Klux
Klan.
Revenge Is wrong they do not spite.
Only do the thing they know Is right.
?Ill
What is the Ku Klux Klan?
He is a pure and honest man,
When curfew toll's the knell of part
ing day.
The Ku Klux plods his onward way,
Honest pure quick and sure.
To God to man no one no truer,
The cool wind blew the gamblers flew
When the Ku Klux came in view.
Life 1b weary life Is glac,
He who helps the one that's sad.
is always called a Ku Klux Klan
?j he motto Is "Lend a helping hand."
