HUNTINGTON sleeps in a house six feet long.  
Huntington dreams of railroads he built and owned.  
Huntington dreams of ten thousand men saying: Yes, sir.  
 
Blithery sleeps in a house six feet long.  
Blithery dreams of rails and ties he laid.           5
Blithery dreams of saying to Huntington: Yes, sir.  
 
Huntington,  
Blithery, sleep in houses six feet long.
