Classic Poem

Consider Andy Bloggins,
One of the business kings
Who eight long brimming years has made
Great profit selling things.

" How came your swelling fortune,
Your growing pile of pelf? "
Asked one; and Bloggins answered,
" I made it all myself. "

" Conspicuous acumen
Is mine for gleaning gold.
The merchandise I bought at low
At high I always sold. "

Consider Andy Bloggins,
His views on dwindling trade.
The second week of lower returns
These utterances he made:

" A curse on all the public
That made this dread condition,
Arising from the Democrats,
The Reds, and Prohibition!

" For something like a week now
I haven't earned my salt,
Although I work and work and work,
It's all the public's fault. "

Asserted Andy Bloggins,
One of the business kings
Who eight long brimming years had made
Great profit selling things.
