The Press Agent



Press agents now are all the go
     No matter what your line;
You cannot run your own caboose
     If you desire to shine.
The showman long has had the field
     All to himself, but now
He’s necessary everywhere,
     To him we all must bow.

If you’re a “has been” in your biz,
     If you would shine again,
You can “come back” if you’ll employ
     The agent’s facile pen.
If skies for you are dull and gray,
     And darkness hovers o’er,
Get your press agent on the job,
     And they will shine once more.

For he can paint a glowing sky,
     Where miracles are rife;
Can wind the public round his pen,
     Can bring the dead to life.
Let salesman, clerk, cashier go hang,
     If you would catch the mob
Secure your bold press agent now
     And get him on the job.



Sept. 11, ‘10
