Our eyes are thick for slumber and our brains are tired and stale; Nerves we have none to speak of, yet we never dare to fail There are always cries for "copy,'' and they never cr_\ iu vain, For the press' need is cruel and reeks not of our piin. Through the endless summer evening when we should he with our wives, We are endlessly jeeording all the tales or other lives. We recount the deeds of heroes; there are new ones every day; Dr are reveling in scandal for?about a teamster's pay. We greet the new-edged statesman; self-important, green, elate; We warn the politicians what to do to save the state; We clink glasses with gcod fellows; yet we've got to keep our head, For the scandals of the living and the virtues of the dead. rhere are some that srera to envy the positions that we hold, ro think that our typewriters are like pens of beaten gold; For we still keep happy faces?though our homes we seldom see, A.nd the smiles of wife and children are denied to such as we. But I guess we'll ketp on going; take assignments; do the work; We may loaf, or drink or gamble; but our tasks we may not shirk; For it's in our blood?the fever?and we die off one by one?
