I. ATiomeless, sleeping peanut man
Inspires a new and splendid plan.
Johji brings some cord, and warnseaclATeddy
To make no noise in getting ready
2. TBey take the cord and firmly tie
It to an auto standing by.
The other end they take with care
And hitch the peanut vender 's Chair.
S.The deed Is done; and halter skelter
The Teds and Johnny run for shelter.
Within a door they safely lurk
And watch their wicked plaij at work.
4.. For now the auto starts away
And. to the peanut man's dismay,
He finds a demon in his chair,
And he himself shoots up in air
577He lands kerthump I and sees afar
His chair pursue the auto car.
In reckless flight across the street
It knocks a poUceman off bis feet
.The cop jumps up and vengeance yells.
And quick pursues those "nervy swells,"
Tbe peanut man goes rushing after,
While John and .Teddies shriek vith lautttx
