Last night I eadt Sgisa’s hash, Undt drinks ten dopes or ’leven; Then I falls to schleep undt haf von dream ’At I vent up to heaven. I valked me up der golden shtreet. Til I found St. Peter’s gate; Er old man schwings his key undt said: “Veil, Dutchman! You’re too late!” I told him I vould haf been on time. But I schust stopped to see Der hoys vhat vent der ocler vay, Undt dhey all had one on me. He looked dhen from der sole mine headt Down to der crown mine feet, Undt said: “I vasn’t der foist rooster From A. & M. vhat he meet.” He did sed the gate vas tight, fasdt, shut, Undt I vould got in ni more; Because the time lock he godt on Voudt not work till half past four. I told him dat vas plenty time, ’Twas ten minutes after ten; Undt I vill se vhat is going on Midt mine friends down in Bryan. He gif me dhen a round-trip card, Undt vispered a password, too, Vhat you couldn’t guess in twenty years, ’Twas dot same vord, “Coochy-Coo.” Vhen I got der Oder depot to, I see written on von span, If you vandt von hot old time tonight, Take der B. C. Interurban. I gif der passvord undt shump on Der hell-vator for below; I vas going to der tifel schure Vere dere’ll be von redhot schow. Ven f showed Old Nick my ticket he, He called Bob Ingersoll, Undt tells him to use Beaumont oil He could make no time mit coal. Dhen ve vent down maybe, t guess, ’Twas a millTon miles or so, Vhen all at vonce dot car broke Undt in a tousand pieces flew. But dot don’t make no difference, Ve vent shooting right on down, Until Fahrenheit’s old zero Vas burn black undt den turn brown. Old Nick den schlaps me on der back. “You gives me bad luck,” he says; “Undt must skeedaddle P. D. Q. I found oudt you wear der fez.” He told me I vas a “Fischer,” Undt he couldn’t entertain A. & M. boys that vent through sand Dot vas just like his der same. He told me dot our Sbisa’s milk Vas der genuwine sthuff, Undt if we gave der hombre a dime Ve got blenty undt enough. Shump on dis hautomobile, he said, For you got to fly der Bull; IT1 put you up to St. Peter’s gate. To heaven the car vill us pull. Vhen ve got back to St. Peter’s gate, j He said, “Blease sidt down undt j take a seat, Undt vile der time lock is running down Vill haf someding to eadt. Shust den der Tisctric lights vent out, Midt candles I feed my face. Vhile^eter told me dot same ding, In Dallas von night took place. In heaven he said I couldn’t eadt, So fill up undt leave no room, Undt vile I drink a schocolate or two He vould play for me a tune. I listen mit mine mouth vide shut, For der music vot I hear, Played somewhere else before I dinks Where we had some meetings for cheer. Budt old St. Peter put me straight; Told me his angels seven Had shust engaged A. & M. band, To play for me in heaven. Undt den der gate vide open up, St. Peter said, “Go higher.” I avaked, my roommate said, “Get up, Dutch, your time to make der fire.” When the Chinese constitution in terferes with the President, he knows which to eliminate.—Washington Post.
