Never Talk Back
Never talk back! sich things is repperhensible;
A feller only hurts hisse'f that jaws a man that's hot;
In a quarrel, ef you'll only keep your mouth shet and act sensible,
The man that does the talkin' 'll git worsted every shot!
Never talk back to a feller that's abusin' you —
Jes' let him carry on, and rip, and snort, and swear;
And when he finds his blamin' and defamin' 's jes' amusin' you,
You've got him clean kaflummixed, — and you want to hold him there!
Never talk back, and wake up the whole community
And call a man a liar, over Law, er Politics. —
You can lift and land him furder and with gracefuller impunity
With one good jolt of silence than a half a dozen kicks!
