BRICK BATS.
Jim Cam was sore at Melvin Jay,
the reasons are unknown; the trouble
started one spring day when they
were both alone. So Jim, as men are
wont to do, saw Jay in bitter light; he
saw in him no purpose true, no
thought or action right. And then
one day a chance appeared to tell a
sordid tale, and as Jim told a scandal
leered that turned his hearers pale.
The folks who heard with wild dismay
were shocked to say the least, yet
stopped their friends upon the way
and spread it west and east. The
story spread and daily grew to mon
strous shape and size; and not a word
of it was true, such is the power of
lies. In days that passed the truth
arose and silenced scandal’s flame;
yet Melvin Jay still feels its blows, it
left hiru worn and lame. Jim Cam
who first made up the tale is known
both far and near as just a liar who
should in jail end up his punk career.
Our enemies with ease we sting by
gossip’s poisoned fang; yet if we do
we’ll find the thing will prove a
boomerang.—Brick Smith.
