You may have had your faults, dear

We don’t know what they are
They didn't show at Valley Forge
When feeble was your star.
Your honors later would have turned
The head of any dub,
But you were not a member of
The Ananias club.
You had ability enough
To make King George look slow.
And no one ever ran a bluff
On you and made it go.
In war ami peace you were the lUst.
You never turned up shy,
For you could do moat anything
But tel) u simple lie.
When you had anything to say
Or any scheme to push
You did not shoot a mile away
Or beat about the bush.
Oh. no; you blurted out the truth,
And if It meant a fight
You loafed around and licked the man
To prove that you were right!
Oh, George, I fear we do not raise
Your kind of men today.

Will truth alone display!

Would fill a good sized tub.
