ABOOB, BIL BRYAN
STAYTON WILL HAVE SCHOOL
FAIR SOME TIME IN SEPTEMBER
Ahboob Bil Bryan (may hia jaw have rest!)
Awoke one midnight from a dreaming fest
And in the alcove where he kept his thinks-
Likewise his ((rape-juice and some other drinks-
He saw an angel in a nighty clad,
Who banged a battered Remington like mad,
Excessive speech had made Bil Bryan bold,
So in his deep Chautauqua voice he trolled:
"What typcst thou?" The Vision snarled, "Go hence!
I write the names of future presidents."
"And is mine one?"asked Ahboob,"Nope, n otyet,"
Replied the writing Angel. "You should fret "
And Ahboob, though his inmost soul was vext,
Just swallowed hard and muttered, “ Put me next "
The Angel wrote and beat it. The next night
He came illumined by a tungsten light,
And gave to Ahboob, with a loud tee-hee
A carbon copy o f his screed, and -Gee!
Bil Bryan’B name stood first of any man’s
Among the list of famous Also-rans.
