Now getting back to earth again For there's where we belong; If you think that wo can't sing lust listen to this song. 0 nee upon a time, I hear, A biped rare and quaint; To get a depot in his town Ho made a strenuous feint. Bombastic biped and pedarian For office ho was frantic; Bui now I am told the people think Him only a pedantic. This biped montioned up nbovu Will please tako notice now; The people of North Platte don't want A U. P. R. R. row. Our pride suggests n new depot Airy, large and up-to-ihite; With slabs and bowls and easy chairs To lounge in whilo we wait. A place where we could go and sit On benches not all wrecked; A place to buy our pasteboards And get our baggage checked. More modern structure I admit Would at this time be great; Divine injunction whispers now With patience let us wait. So lot's not crowd the Company hard Nor try to forco the fight; I'm satisfied they're doing just What they consider right. They built at an enormous cost A roundhouse near the town; Don't ask it in such gobs my boy For they COULD turn you down. Now my peripharistic friend Let go that U. P. leg; By holding on so long you'll kill Tho bird that lays the golden egg.
