Should you hear some ignoramus—let out of his incubator—

Say the heavy-oil of Franklin is not earth’s best lubricator,

Do as did renown’d Tom Corwin, the great Buckeye legislator,

When a jabberwock in Congress sought to brand him as a traitor,

Just “deny the allegation and defy the allegator!”

The Shasta was Karns City’s first well.

Missouri has two wells producing oil.
