the executive offices at the White House for the last meeting of his cabinet

It's an awful world we live in, to be
sure,
With its turmoil which but few
worlds could endure;
Long engaged in bloody battle,
People, like dumb driven cattle,
Stop and wonder at the prattle
Of some propaganding prophet quite
obscure.
There's the man who for the nation
sees the doom
Of submission to blue statutes, and
the gloom
Who sees government abolished
When the suffragists have polished
Up their weapon and demolished
Unrestricted hours of labor with the
broom.
There's a doctor friend of mine wh
says that germs
Will destroy all life on earth except
ing worms,
Since we've got this prohibition
Which, by his own frank admission
Makes it hard to get ambition
Now except upon high monetaiy
terms.
Then a scientist in Paris has de
clared, Having specimens of human folks
compared,
That two thousand years from nod
(Though he doesn't tell us how)
Men to monkey rule will bow;
Which is stronger talk than Darwin
ever dared.
But regardless of this scientific curse
Plus our present woes, our troubles
might be worse;
For, dear friends, the Fates are
tricky:
When, next June, a bolshcviki
Comet known at Pons-Winnicke
Hits her, Mother Earth will need 1
nurse (or hearse).

This is because the full, rich,

And a small chew gives more
