That theyd fall dow;u complete on the ol radn game. Fer youll find in this world, when yer travel it oer. That theres "boss bugs" thats rich, an sonic that is pore: An, like the famed pickle, their varietys wide, Kut. git talkin "boss" theyre all on yer side. Theres grave, learned judges, with wisdom iip-pallin. Kut talk boss witli one. y find that hes stallin; And down deep in their hearts, jest like you an me. They got a big place for a race boss, y see. An the men of tin; cloth. Im free fer t state. That the most of cm fall for a hos, soon er late, An tho some of em try for t hide their rank sin, If its bred in the bone, they cant keep it in. An so on all down the professional line. If they got "boss blood" iu cm, its bound fer t shine; An thats why I say that phrenologists fail, Fer y cant tell a boss by the cut of his tail. Horse Itevicw.
