The Lord ever made, under His kind sky,
Bob Cooning!
Bob Cooning the giant was only a boy,
Like Harry or Tom or Jim or Dick,
But one that the other boys couldn’t lick.
Never a clean fair fight for Bob
As boy to boy. “That’s a dirty trick—
To hit a fellow just half your size!”
I’ve seen the tears in Bob’s big blue eyes.
“Give me a man to fight!” he’d say,
