Don’t you hand it out some cuss words Just to sort o’ ease your woe? How you scowl and how you grumble! Don't you wish you had a gun? Don’t you swear that it’s the biggest I'est beneath the shining sun? That's exactly how it strikes me When that clock begins to ring, And I wish that I could get hold Of tiie man who made the thing. How I’d kick him! how I’d choke him! How I’d knock him left and right! That’s the way I fed—but, still, I Wind the darn thing up each night. -Buns Dudley.
