tDean Collins, in Dallas Observer.)
There’s peace once more in the State
House halls.
Since solemn 9olons have all escaped.
Anil the moonbeams silver the shining
walls
Of the treasury vault, all bare and
scraped,
The spider spins, with a quiet air,
IIis wily web in the Speaker’s chair,
And the settling dust on the Senate floor
Mounds to the depth of an inch or
more,
While over the land as a south wind
blows
The popular knockfest comes and
goes.

The Normals, standing without a prop,
Daze at their beauteous lemon crop,
While the drowsy drummer covers his
feet
In the flowing folds of a nine-foot sheet,
Ami over and over the peopls sing
“ We’re stung with a big font million
sting!"
The Governor’s sanctum sees again
The “ massacre of the innocents’ ’
And dead bills fall as the summer rain,
With none to rally to their defense;
Beneath the heavy, persistent whacks
And slicing edge of the veto axe
Remorse nor pity can never swerve,
They march to the doom that they tie-
serve,
While over the county, far anti near,
Public Opinion is on its ear.

The people howl as they howled of yore,
Of profligate, prodigal, spendthrift
bills,
Passetl by a body that asked for “ more”
And disregarded the larger ills;
The legislator is handed his
In words so hot that they fairly fizz—
He has “ lieen untrue to the People’s

He has answered “ n it" to the People’s
