GOD BLESS THE LAWYER
Said Jack to his lawyer, ‘‘1 want a divorce,
It's all her fault as a matter of course;
My wife can't cook any kind of meat
So it’s even fit for a dog to ent;
Just say that my dinner is al'-’ay tough,
I reckon that ought to be grounds enough.
Said the lawyer to Jack, “I will bet my life.
That you're in the wrong, nnd not the wife;
If you get meat lo roast, bakfry or broil.
It will prove all right if you get it from Coyle."
From Coyle, now, Jack buys al) of his meat,
And it's just like his wife —both tender and sweet.
