The sun of noon
`` They clinched like two rampageous bears , And then went down a bit ; They swore a stream of six-inch oaths And fit , and fit , and fit . `` When Sam would try to work away , And on his pegs to git , The stranger 'd pull him back ; and so , They fit , and fit , and fit ! `` Then like a pair of lobsters , both Upon the ground were knit , And yet the varmints used their teeth , And fit , and fit , and fit !! `` The sun of noon was high above , And hot enough to split , But only riled the fellers more , That fit , and fit , and fit !!! `` The stranger snapped at Sammy 's nose , And shortened it a bit ; And then they both swore awful hard , And fit , and fit , and fit !!!! `` The mud it flew , the sky grew dark , And all the litenins lit ; But still them critters rolled about , And fit , and fit , and fit !!!!! `` First Sam on top , then t ` other chap ; When one would make a hit , The other 'd smell the grass ; and so , They fit , and fit , and fit !!!!!!
