I say, an' say again:<br>You've got to tech a humpback to win out ten!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">So, though I used to think that luck wuz lucky, I'll allow<br>That luck, for luck, agin a hump aint nowhere in it now!<br>An' though I can't explain the whys an' wherefores, I maintain<br>There must be somethin' in it when the tip's so straight an' plain;<br>For I wuz there an' seen it, an' got full with Salty when<br>Salty teched a humpback an' win out ten!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Eugene+Field">Eugene Field</a><div class=q>
