There's the man who lets yoa shake his linapy hand
He's a bore.
And the man who leans against yon when yon stand
Gel his gore.
There's the man who has a fear
That the world is, year by year,
Growing worse perhaps he's near
Bolt the door.
There's the fellow with connndroms quite antique
He's a bore.
And the man who asks yon ""What?" whenever yon speak.
Though yon roar.
There's the man who slaps your back
With a button-bursting whuk
If jvsn thinli he's on yonr trade
Bolt the door.
There's the punster with his everlasting pna
He's a bore.
And the man whe mates alliterative "fan"
Worse snd more!
There'sTiheman who tells the tale
That a year ago wjk stale
