FORCE
Jim Dumps was down upon his luck
Because he could no longer write a smart article on the
fiscal question.
He used to growl and groan and grunt
Because he could not ease a sub-editors mind when the
paper was a column short and only an hour to press-time.
Force so renewed his vital powers
That he could keep it up for hours ;
And now he wallows in a bluebook,
The people call him Sunny Jim.
