Beaver Crossing (Neb.) Times
While others sing to beat the band
In praise of warriors bold,
I gently take roy pen in hand
For men of different mold;
I sing of those hard working gents
Who labor night and day,
And all they’ve left is thirty cents
When creditors they pay.
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.
And when there comes to anyone
The summons to cash in,
They tell of all the good he’s done
And cover up the sin;
And of the erring one who fails
In life’s exacting school
They show that criticism pales
Beside the golden rule.
The Patron Saint is good Saint Paul,
Their motto’s from his pen,
