Off Again on Again Gone Again Finnegan Poem

Superintindint waz Flannigan; Boss av the siction wuz Finnigin; Whiniver the kyars got offen th� rail An� muddled up things t� th� divil an� back Finnigin writ information technology to Flannigan, Afther the wrick wuz all on agin: That is, this Finnigin Repoorted to Flannigan. Whin Finnigin furst writ to Flannigan, He writ tin pages--did Finnigin. An� he tould jist how the smash occurred; Total minny a tajus, blunderin� wurrd Did Finnigin write to Flannigan Afther the cars had gone on agin. That�s th� way Finnigin Repoorted to Flannigan. Now Flannigan knowed more than Finnigin-- He�d more idjucation--had Flannigan; An� information technology wore �m clane an� complately out To tell what Finnigin writ about In his writin� to Muster Flannigan. So he writed this here: Masther Finnigin: Don�t do sich a sin agin; Make �em brief, Finnigin!" Whin Finnigin got this from Flannigan, He blushed rosy rid--did Finnigin; An� he said: "I�ll gamble a whole month�southward pa-ay That it�ll be minny an� minny a da-ay Befoore Sup�rintindint--that�southward Flannigan-- Gits a whack at that very aforementioned sin agin. From Finnigin to Flannigan Repoorts won�t be so long agin." Wan da-ay on the siction av Finnigin, On the road sup�rintinded exist Flannigan, A runway give way on a bit av a curve An� some kyars went off as they made th� shwerrve. "at that place�s nobody hurted," sez Finnigin, "But repoorts must be made to Flannigan," An� he winked at Mike Corrigan, As married a Finnigin. He wuz shantyin� thin, wuz Finnigin, As minny a railroader�southward been adverse, An� his shmoky ol� lamp wuz burnin� bright In Finnigin�s shanty all that dark- Bilin� downwardly his repoort was Finnigin An� he writed this hither: "Muster Flannigan: Off agin, on agin, Gone agin. --Finnigin."
