Shall shortly see that I will be a bale of hay no more.
No more I’ll stop his swings and swats, and turn the other cheek.
Too long I’ve been a cornered rat; but even rats can squeak.

Meanwhile the guileless Theodore his simple pleasure took
In charming crowds with phrases such as “Liar!" Stuff!" and
‘ ‘ Crook!' ’
Undreaming of a lurking foe, till Biff! and Bang! and Bing!
About his ears the adjectives began to buzz and sing!
He dodged a verb, he ducked a noun that followed fast in flight;
An interjection grazed his scalp ; then he began to fight.

Oh, fearful was the following fray! The very air burned blue;
Like meteors fell rebukes, like hail the denunciations flew.
From Bangor to Fort Yuma could be heard the horrid screech

But mark! It never pays to buck the other fellow's game—
When Taft went dumb the Colonel kept on spouting just the same!
So, little boys, if you some day would fain be Presidents,
Sit at the feet of stevedores znd study eloquence.
Don't waste your time upon the bench, a better place by far
