THE NEW DENNIS
Lo! Kearney, rising on his hinder legs,For higher rates of freight and passage begs.
Time was when Dennis talked another way—
Because he drove an opposition dray.
Thus, soon or late, to override the laws
All common carriers make common cause,
Pool the foul issues of their dirty lungs,
Lick each other with fraternal tongues.
Crocker and Kearney, men of equal leather,
Arcades ambo—they are pigs together.
