A man who'd worked with Dana on the Noo York Sun.
His name was Cantell Whoppers, 'nd he was a sight ter view
Ez he walked into the orfice 'nd inquired for work to do;
Thar warn't no places vacant then -- fer, be it understood,

'Til finally he stated (quite by chance) that he had done
A heap uv work with Dana on the Noo York Sun.
