Said Crook (a patent skin all right,

But all the "hair" was out of sight).

Excelsior!

And so Crook sold the lounge or couch

To some poor Boob with gold-filled pouch;

And also sold an easy chair

(The Easy Mark was stuffed for fair.)

Excelsior!

And thus he plied his artful trade

(A better Craftsman ne'er was made)
