| The hobo paused before my door
And begged a bite to eat; His cap was on wrong side before, His shoes o'erflowed with feet. "Whence all this misery?" I cried, "Why dost thou hit the pike?" He said "My goose is cut and dried, Our union's on a strike." "And what's your business, gentle sir?" His answer made me laugh. Quoth he, "I am a lineman for A wireless telegraph." |
