I might just recite a little poem of my own. since the gentleman has been so good about relating some of the fairy tales of his past. Absolute knowledge have I none. But my aunts sisters washerwomans son Heard a policeman on his beat Say to a laborer on the street That he got a letter just lask week Printed in the finest Greek From a Chinese coolie from Timbuktu Who heard the Cubans. And the Cubans knew Of a black man From Texas town Who got it straight from a circus clown Who knew a swell society female fake Whose motherinlaw will undertake To prove in a printofpeace That she has a friend Who has a friend Who knows How this session will end. Now. if we really cou.d predict with ultimate accuracy as to how this session would end tonight.
