First “Jack” and “Mac,” then old “Skeff” and “Lope”
And “Jawn” and rare “Doc” and “Bill,”
Also “Mont” and “Cook,” or some “also ran brows,”
And then you can have your fill
Of talk that’s light and a good heartening up
And kindly repartee,
In the night you spend in parry and tierce
At the sign of the “Old P. M. C.”
(Philadelphia Press, July 16, 1911).
