"Ringworm Frank"

Jest Frank Reed's his real name--though
Boys all calls him "Ringworm Frank,"
'Cause he allus runs round so.--
No man can't tell where to bank
Frank'll be,
Next you see
Er hear of him!--Drat his melts!--
That man's allus somers else!

We're old pards.--But Frank he jest
Can't stay still!--Wuz prosper'n' here,
But lit out on furder West
Somers on a ranch, last year:
Never heard
Nary a word
How he liked it, tel to-day,
Got this card, reads thisaway:--

"Dad-burn climate out here makes
Me homesick all Winter long,
And when Springtime comes, it takes
Two pee-wees to sing one song,--
One sings 'pee,'
And the other one 'wee!'
Stay right where you air, old pard,--
Wisht I wuz this postal card!"
