Oil EW an CTAL liniwim MONKEY' RUM AND RHYME. (Dedicated ; to Sheriff v Robinson, C Brunswick, whose bailiwick was , In vaded, with apologies to all con cerned.) Y By IREDELL MEARES. It was a -wondrous expedition Which hiked to Eagles Isle, Where monkey Turn sedition Was rampant as a bile. With McGinnis in command, : His running gear Intact; No patrolman feared to land With sprinting led by Mac. . There were Baskels, Ridley's, Fore's and Barker's, In the expeditionary force, Armed with clubs and guns and markers, Bent on prohibition to enforce. They trod the paths, they beat th bush, , And bravely hunted Hun; . ' Maneuvered 'round in double riTsh, And found the monkey rum. But the monkey bum, who left the rum, Where, oh, where was he? Him wait and watch were little fun, Since he were off on jamberee. Their object gained, the quest achieved i They 'trenched around the rum; When doubt arose, were they deceived. Was it rum, or gum, or bum? The day was hot, their throats were dry, Stomachs all ready for digestion; The rum was pied, the chance was pie, Dame Nature made suggestion. Interlude. All sober and wise, each his bottle eyed, It looked like rum; All sober and wise, each his bottle uncorked, It smelt like rum; All sober and part wise, each the con tents sipped, ? ' It tasted like rum; Part sober and unwise, each his bottle drank, It acted like rum. Resume. Then Baskel swore, & kind'er snort-en, He didn't know, nor cared a damn, If that man were Eva Martin, Or Eva Martin were that man. And with the monkies on the shore Lay the prostrate form of Fore, Heard the clatter of their twang, Thought it was the Boche-man. Heard the drowsy beetles hum, Thought it was the cruel Hun; Bang! bang! bang! rang out his shot Ma.c he heard and quit the spot Ridley heard the fusilade, Saw the flare of rapid fire, Supposed it hell on dress parade, Sped him fast o'er muddy mire. Through the muddle of Barker's nod dle, Wheeling, "Whirling, all en masse, Monkies marched in timeless toddle, Shooting, shouting, o'er the grass. Into the silence of dismal night 'Mid shot and shell, creating hell, And battle cry of awful plight, They carried on, with demon yell. O'er the field in ruin laid, Jackson charged with oriflame, Seized five quarts, the trophy's raid, Saved the day for official' fame. ; Not the battle of the Marne, Nor drive of hellish Hun, Shocked the tommies, nor did the harm, Like this fight and flight of monkey rum. Now quiet reigns on Eagles Isle, We are happy to relate; For the m6nkey rum in duress vile, Has met its proper fate. Now the councilmen, all sedate, Are puzzling o'er the fate to deal, Less the monkey men retaliate, And damning facts on council squeal. Now the sheriff of Brunswick's strand, Hips and snorts, 'gin this ruthless band; Talk of Belgium, land invaded, See his county, its rights degraded. But the query we ever hum, With troubled acumen, Were the monkies in the rum Or in the patrolmen? Finale. Prohibition! So hard to please! Why upset official ease Monkey rum, the sheriffs say, Like every dog, must have its dayj . Law and order, ah, it's all to rot, When patrolmen and deputies Get boiling over, like the pot, With sizzling, patriotic liberties. Join Y. M. C. A. war secretaries. Act immediately, we beg. W. B.
