...ux will sell
The wares of any who reward him well.
Praising whatever he is paid to praise,
He hunts for ever-newer, smarter ways

To cheat us legally; to bluff and bilk
By methods which no jury can prevent
Because the law's not broken, only bent.

Can tell the half-lie hardest to refute;
Knows how to hide an inconvenient fact
And when to leave a doubtful claim unbacked;

Last the rover's circle guidin'
Brought me where I used to be,
And I met her, gaily ridin'
With a smarter man than me.
Then I raised my dusty cover
But she didn't see nor hear,
So I hummed the old tune over,
Laughin' in my hawse's ear:
_If the snowflake specks the desert_
_Or the yucca blooms awhile._
_Ay! what gloom the mountain covers_
_Where the driftin' cloud shade hovers!_
_Ay! the trail o' parted lovers,...Read more of this...
