I raise my lid to all the boys Who run the country press, I raise my voice and make a noise With all my might and stress In honor of the rural scribes Who furnish us the news Of all the factions, clans and tribes With wide divergent views. They hand bouquets of fragrance rich To all the newlyweds, Within the hall of fame, a niche They give the thoroughbreds, Unto the high school graduates They give advice and praise, And of the smiling candidates They sing in roundelays.
