Said I: “I fear that it may be
Another case for the S. P. C.
’T will bear investigation.”
I dropped my book and joined the race,
And struggling into the foremost place,
Behold, the object of the chase
Was an aged man with wrinkled face!
I was filled with indignation.
His frame was bent and his knees aknock,
His head was bald but for one lock,
