And plunge it in infinite fire,

Your wrath is eternal damnation,

But man’s is more lasting dire.

The Sunflower Kid

By Koffdrop DeHaven.

A few years back, in my palmy days, when the boxing game was grand,

I tipped the scales at a hundred and ten; had a punch in either hand;

But I never was a top notch, the reason for which I’ll tell,

I was learning a trade in a boiler shop; I worked, and worked like everything;
