Niagara Falls

Brass Spurs and Brown Coat

Untitled

Adieu, Niagara! I'm off for New York,
To measure out sugar, molasses and pork,
Next year I'll return if I crib enough cash,
And it won't be my fault if I don't cut a dash.
I put up at the "Cataract," but could not stop there ---
The landlord and I were too much of a pair.
