“Absolute knowledge haw I none, llut my aunt’s washerwoman’s sister’s soil Heard a policeman on his beat Say to a labourer on the street That he had a letter just last week— A letter which he did not ■sa'ek From a Chinese merchant in Timbuctoo, Who said his brother in Cuba knew' Of an Indian chief in a Texas town. Who got dope from a circus clown. That a man in Klondike had it straight, Prom a guy in a South American state. That a wild man over in Borneo Was told by a woman, wiio claimed to know, Of a well know'll swell society rake, Whose mother-in-law will undertake To prove that her husband s brother Pete Saw drunks daily on the street.”
