President Roosevelt sits dazed in a boxing ring with stars coming out of his head, “Through, not thru,” “Woe, not wo,” “Gauge, not gage,” “Though, not tho,” “Axe, not ax,” “Rhyme, not rime,” and “Kissed, not kist.” A strong man depicted with a dictionary head looks on as a monkey counts, “1-2-3-4-5.” In the seats sit two men, “R.R. Trusts” and “Meat Trusts.” The latter says, “And I thought he was invincible.”
