Hays, “when patience halts and fails, and we shall shoot all locoed jays who try to rob the mails.. Too long, too long have graceless scamps defied me to my face, and they have stolen postage stamps until it's a disgrace. And now at last they've spilled the \beans, they've shocked the voterss souls, and I have drafted the marines to shoot them full of holes. The ocean soldiers are on guard, no more shall bandits scoff, and he who steals a postal card will have his dome blown of.” The postman comes to my abode, and tired and sore he feels, for he has dragged along the road a culverin on wheels. And he is loaded down with guns till life seems flat and stale, for he must guard the precious duns that come to me by mail. A sawed-off shot- gun on his back, and all-equipped to kill, he thus delivers at my shack the tailor's dog-eared bill. With his brass knucks and lance and gun he leaves his smoke behind, and he looks a war lord Hurf who has “Der Tag” in mind. Now peace enshrouds my wintry dome and comfort fills my soul, for I can mail a priceless pome, and feel *twill reach its goal. And when the grocer sends his bill with threat of law and jail, 'twill reach my cottage on the hill, since gunmen guard the mail. (Copyright) WALT MASON.
