Newspaper Racin’

Ther Record jumps, ther Herald thumps,

     An’ ther Globe get up an’ dances;

Ther Traveler scowls, ther Transcript howls,

     An’ ther Advertiser prances.

Ther suburb sheets keep in their seats

     An’ watch ther rough an’ tumblin’;

Each draws her skirt to shun ther dirt

     Thet flies frum out ther jumblin’.
