SEVEN LITTLE GOVERNORS
"Seven Little Governors" is the
title of an epic poem composed by
a few young men at the state house
who do not happen to be connected
with the administration of Governor
Aldrich and are therefore free to in
dulge their literary propensities
along the line chosen.
It is no great shakes of a poem,
but for concise statement of the facts
it could hardly be bettered. This is
the way the narrative runs in verse:
Seven little Governors asked T. R.
to run;
They sent him a letter, and the tale
was begun.
Seven little Governors, all in politics;
Hadley left them in the lurch
then there were six.
Six little Governors, very much alive;
Bass was not a nominee then there
were five.
Five little Governors, but fate had
in store
A little bump for Osborn then there
were four.
Four little Governors 'neath the
lemon tree;
Something fell on Aldrich then
there were three.
Three little Governors, alone of all
the crew;
The landslide buried Glasscock
then there were two.
Two little Governors for office on
the run;
Stubbs failed to reach the senate
then there was one.
One little Governor, the tale is nearly
Soon Carey will go on the shelf
then there'll be none.
