The Tough Bird
Behold a hard boiled guy, with a
pill hanging on his lip, bands in his
pockets, no necktie, and wearing a
cap on his left shoulder.
He walks around stoop-shouldereo
and drags his feet like a fly doing a
"Weston" over fly paper.
What's the! matter with the boob,
Arthur; what's the idea in trying to
be a bad guy; what is he going to get
out qf i?
Oh, he thirtks it just the candy to
be hard-boiled; he imagines people
admire hlna for it
Tough birds always travel in
gangs; they likevto get a name over
the surrounding territory as a bunch
of holy terrors, always looking for a
scrap and maybe they can't battle.
Why we've seen ten of these fear
less roughnecks go right in regard
less of danger and beat the daylights
out of a 50-year-old helpless peddler.
But if you ever met one of the
tough birds alone away from hia
gang he'd have a yellow streak that
would make the milky way look like
a crack on the head of a pin.
No, Raymond, don't wallop the
next tough bird you see on the head
or you'll get your hand full of slivers.

fore we were married.
Young Wife Oh, that's all right,
Tonu X calculated, on fifty. Judee.
