Mike says that when a fellow shows he’s struck

A woman hardly ever raises Ned

Or seems to get to wishin’ she was dead—

Gee whiz! he’s went and give her chin a chuck.

XI.

THE Johnny’s went away that got so brash;

I let his blamed old satchel fall and smash

When him and me was goin’ out the door;

His razor and his brush rolled on the floor,

Mixed with his nightshirt and some other trash.
