Grand Opry

From The Topeka State Journal, February 3, 1913.
 By Roy K. Moulton.
 

 Grand Opry as a form of entertainment can’t be beat.
 I love to cough up ten good bones and buy myself a seat.
 To hear some howling tenor from some low-browed foreign land
 Come forth and yell a lot of stuff that I can’t understand.
 
 I simply dote on listenin’ for several mortal hours
 While them high-priced sopranners exercise their vocal powers.
 I think I get my money’s worth. Oh yes, of course I do
 And I am always sorry when the jamboree is through.
 
 There’s nothing I like half so well and for a chance to go
 I’d walk five miles in my bare feet right through the ice and snow.
 I know what you are thinking, I’ve got your thought wave quite-
 You’re thinking I’m a liar and I guess you’re thinking right.
