ARGUE IT OUT FOR YOURSELVESt i]
"Devil Clube”
f,In that prehistoric age
a 51!!n,fur clothes were all the rage
And folks ran round with legs
and arms all bare
I’ve wondered if there grew
Devil clubs by every sloughy
And if they gave them any
thought or care*
(Sgt.G «T,Masury)
Or were they so hard
and tough
They could treat these
clubs most rough,
And the spikes would never
mean a festered sorej
0,1 wish I only knew
What those fellers used
to do,
For J’d patent it,and
loaf forever more."
