These swords leave scores
of sores of course.
And scars that rise by and by .
Beat out lines in Braille and Morse,
to that overwhelming force.
Of fine on coarse
then coarse on fine,
and in the wind
all fine, all time.
Though we wine and dine
And polish til shine,
it ain't all Shinola.

And scars that rise by and by .
Beat out lines in Braille and Morse,

Of fine on coarse
then coarse on fine,
and in the wind

Though we wine and dine
And polish til shine,
it ain't all Shinola.
