THE HUCKSTER
He unctiously lays down the law, He tells yon what is right and wrong ; He knows the Gospels, line and verse, And has the Psalter like a song. “Now don’t do this, and do do that; For this is wrong, and that is right!” He’ll talk the hind leg off a pot l — long as talk involves no fight. When Wrong is warring down the Right, And Truth by slimy lies is drowned, He’ll talk no more of wrong or right, Lest he offend or lose a pound. Give me the man who stands for Right, And never halts to count the cost ; Who, scorning to live a supple slave, Would die and know his life not lost. ■J.K.
