MEINSELF UND HEINRICK

Dedicated to the Plain and Humble Editor.

Who makes dere boeples pend dere knees. Und go "ker-chou" vhen ve do schneeze? Who gedts de honey like pumble-pees? Meinself und Heinrich.

Who's got der peoples on der rack? I'm der King und Hank's der Jack. Und Pill Shudson dakes von seat pack, For Meinself-dot's Helber.

Who'll make Pill Shudson like dirty cents, Vhen he pulids dose bolitishuns' fence, Undil he almost does rebents? Meinself und Heinrich.

Who has got such lodt of prains, Dot ve come in vhen idt rains, Und are in dis peesness for der gains? Meinself und Heinrich.

Who gedtsder "P.O." vhen Pond goes oudt, Und lives on fat so I gedt der gout? I dond't hear dose G. A. R. shoudt For Meinself-dot's Helber.
