82. EL PERIODISTA/ Redactor de: “El Popular”,/ En México fué Osacar,/Y se dió muy Buenos gustos/ A pesar de los disgustos/ Que la prensa le causó./ Acabósele la gracia/ Para escribir que ¡desgracia!/ Y perdió la aceptación,/ “El Popular” en cuestión/ Pore so gran corajera/ Le dió y se hizo…Calavera.
