Our £Iass Jllpbab¢t. B is for Baker, of Frederick town, A football man of great renown. He's early to bed and early (?) to rise, At missing inspection he'd win the first prize. C is for Caton, a Cerebral Curiosity, He has a Consummate Cephalic Capacity. He Cusses the Cook and Carps at the dinner, And Cracks his thin jokes-the Cranky old sinner. D is for Dickey, a quiet recluse, ... And never a soul did he abuse . He meets all the girls alike with a frown, And says he won't marry in this old town. D stands for Dixon-we call him Grand-Pap- Who eats so much hominy, sausage and strap. He wants to change diet-a serious question- He says it has ruined his "saw-mill" digestion. D stands for Douglass is what I am told; Try a joke on him and you will be sold. He has a good brain, but scarcely a thread Of hair will you finc! on top of his head. H is for Henry and Hartsell, too, Who is outclassed as a joker by few. His head is quite small, His mouth is a whacker, Exactly four sizes Too large for a cracker. 132
