Now what in the world shall we dioux
With the bloody and murderous Sioux
Who sometime ago
Took his arrow and bow
And raised such a hellabelioux?

A maiden once ate a cucumber
And then she lay down for to slumber;
The next thing she knew
Up to heaven she flew,
Her casket was made of new lumber.
And then she lay down for to slumber;
The next thing she knew
Up to heaven she flew,
Her casket was made of new lumber.
A darling young fellow named Day
Prints the Solid Muldoon, at Ouray;
When folks pay their back dues,
He's as mild as you choose,
When they don't, there's the devil to pay.

A certain young lady at Golden,
Once sought her best beau to embolden,
By observing, “Don't you
Think one chair's 'nuff f'r two?”
And now when he calls, she is holden.

'Tis strange how new newspapers honor
The creature that's called prima donna;
They say not a thing
Of how she can sing,
But talk of the clothes she has on her.

The beautiful belle of Del Norte,
Is reckoned disdainful and horty,
Because during the day
She says, “Boys keep away,”
But she yums in the gloaming like forty!

Once courted the charming Miss Sauche,
But when she was wed

In Leadville a certain girl's bonnet
Has four yards of ostrich plumes on it,
While her sister, poor thing,
Wears a red rooster wing,
And that is the cause of this sonnet.

A dashing young cowboy named Gus
Got involved in a serious muss,
With a party named Berringer,
And drawing his derringer
He tapped him for laudable pus.
