How We Get ' Em The Legenda is a wondrous thing as every Freshie knows, But most wonderful of all its lore, are the jokes that come and go. The joke ed ' s a deceitful chap with eyes of tricky hue. To hear him rave and cuss the stars and emphasize his thought. His jokes would be much better if the censor could be bought. But Mr. Haggard, he ' s right on the job, eraser in each hand And his favorite poems from the Police Gazette in the paper basket land. But the ole joke ed, despite his wail, has a job that ' s soft and easy. He cops his stuff from Life and Judge in a way that ' s simply breezy. Each evening in the Morris chair he cons the fragrant joke From weekly periodicals of the days of James K. Polk. Another trick most widely used is the verse that ' s miscalled free. With this an ordinary line that ne ' er a joke could be Becomes a wheeze that shakes the knees in mirth ' s great melody, Because our swain of mirthful vein had split one line in three, So when your friends from far and near repeat that well known strain: Your name within the Jokes I saw in quite a funny vein, Just shove the Johnny to the wall and let him have it straight. That same old joke appeared in Life in Eighteen Forty-Eight. R. Bingham — I have a new position with the railroad com- pany. R. George — That ' s fine. What are your duties? R. Bingham — You know the man that goes along the side of the train and taps the axles to see if everything is all right? Well, I help him listen. Some Tale Sarah P. — Gee, that dog has a long tail. It must be about three feet. Sadie D.— Yes, that ' s his back yard. Miss Boyle (teaching Para- dise Lost ) — How did Satan suc- ceed in getting through the Gates of Hell? M. Perkins — Oh, he handed the demons, who guarded them, a line. Miss B. — Will you please translate that? The Four W ' s What makes Eddie Wilde? Why does Roland Waite? Why does Joe Needham? What makes Jerome Hard? When is Joe Friske? What does Flossie Pierce? Why is always Dorothy Willing? Why will Marietta Boody? What Makes Russell Whyte? Why is Kenneth Shurr?
