[Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 19, 1957] Come Webster open up your pages And claim this new word for the ages. To Faubus means to muff the ball, To fumble, bhender, bluff and stoel, To dodge and squim to back & fill, To light the fires of ill mill, To domineer and be officions, To be quite stubborn and capricious To start a crisis then deplore it, And blame the other fellow for it. This verb is useful when once learned Thus - Verb faubushed while Rome burned From Minneapolis Minnesota Star Journal - Metadata URL:
