It seems to be the fashion
for all big papers now to have
Semi-annually an original
poem about. Mary's little lamb,
("so that to keep in the swim we
dropped a nickel in the slot of
this print shop's "divine affla
tus'' machine and here's the
result :
Mary had a little sheep,
With ha'r so fine and tender,
She took her up to Washington
To get old Ding Jo 'fend her.
Fo Ding he tariff 'tected
The sheep with silky ha'r.
But when Mary went to, sh'ar it r
The blame thing wasn't thar.
For while old Ding, "proteed"
The combines made a call,
And jes' walked up and captured
The sheepie, ha'r and all.
