THE BLUFFER.
BY BERTON BRALEÝ.
As a kid he was soared of the other boys The smaller ones and the bigger,
Yet he faced 'em all with a seeming poise "And fought 'em with sturdy vigor,
He was scared of the girls, but he made a bluff
Of courage, and stuck right to it,
And got away with it well-onhugh,
So nobody ever know it.
#
And as ho grew to a man's estato
He was ever with fear sthrob.
Ho was scared of poople, and scared of Fate,
And scared of his daily job;
But somehow or other he played the game
And steadily battled through it,
He was scared and frightened, but just the same,
There's nobody over know it!
Ho bluffed his friends and he bluffed his focs
With his glorious dissembling,
And nobody guessed his endless throes
Of doubt and of fear and trembling;
Ho died with brave words on his brosh,
Scared bipo, but he wouldn't show it! He gallantly bluffed through life and death,
A hero who didn't know it!
