I HAVE come with my verses--I think I may claim br It is not the first time I have tried on the same. br They were puckered in rhyme, they were wrinkled in wit; br But your hearts were so large that they made them a fit. br br I have come--not to tease you with more of my rhyme, br But to feel as I did in the blessed old time; br I want to hear him with the Brobdingnag laugh-- br We count him at least as three men and a half. br br I have come to meet judges so wise and so grand br That I shake in my shoes while they're shaking my hand; br And the prince among merchants who put back the crown br When they tried to enthrone him the King of the Town. br br I have come to see George--Yes, I think there are four, br If they all were like these I could wish there were more. br I have come to see one whom we used to call 'Jim,' br I want to see--oh, don't I want to see him? br br I have come to grow young--on my word I declare br I have thought I detected a change in my hair! br One hour with 'The Boys' will restore it to brown-- br And a wrinkle or two I expect to rub down. br br Yes, that's what I've come for, as all of us come; br When I meet the dear Boys I could wish I were dumb. br You asked me, you know, but it's spoiling the fun; br I have told what I came for; my ditty is done.
