MAROON ee-- Circus Verses When Hyman talks of Murphy, He becomes so much enthused, We know at once where we can find A big top to be used. I doubted 'twas a leopard 'til I saw the proof it had. A leopard cannot change its marks, If you still doubt, ask Blad. Though men get killed while after these, There's nothing much to fear, For we have petted each one ,til She is a little deer. The animal that Ken has caught Is nothing but a horse, With Olive I-Ioban's stockings on, To lend its color force. Although the horse may buck and rear, It can't shake off our cowgirl dear, For she sticks like molasses poured, She's used to wrestling in a Ford. The snake in the grass hasn't got half a chance When this charmer gives him the eye. One glance and a word and they're ready for use, It's no use to struggle or cry. Behold, the tired workers stand With weary, toil worn browg To them the work with no applause While others take the bow. Though lions roar and leopards leap, And gnash their teeth in vain, The quiet love birds bill and coo, Then bill and coo again. Doth hear the polly parrot squawk With ponderous verbosity Whose ostentatious rantings have No sense but great velocity? Behold a child who once was mild, Who was by wild, wild women wiled Now he is styled the wildest wild At least when women get him riled. It,s always fun to hang around And watch the antics funny Of the three monkeys you see here, Al Beulow, Glenn, and Sunny. This classy bird who looks so grand Is one we did admire, But since he took up playing golf, He's just a common Lyre. At naming dogs, I must confess, I really am a sap, But these are just the kind of dogs, Iid want upon my lap. just see the hard boiled cowboy catch Poor Ollie by the neck, But if that poor, hard working Lois Sees him, he'll be a wreck. If you think that the dog is all That jumps, you make me laugh, When this clown yells, you, too, would jump If you were on this staff. Lore birds are often bumun fo a marked degree. Page Nineteen
