THE TWO OBADIAHS.
Said the young Obadiah to the old Obadiah,
I am dry, Obadiah, I am dry.
Said the old Obadiah, to the young Obadiah,
Well, that’s queer, Obadiah, so am I.
So am I.
But the two Obadiahs had between them not a brown,
And all they sought to borrow from responded with a frown.
You must pay us what you owe before we lend you what you need,
Said the old Obadiah “that be d——d.”
