As neath the moon they sat;
And wondered if another man
Had drank a mug like that.

A tool chest was the old hen’s nest,
I’ll bet you cannot match it;
She cackled when she tried to set
Upon a nail and hatchet.

A passing breeze
Exposed her knees;
Milady did not care,

_Papa loves wimmin;_
_Mamma caught papa_

_Bobbed Hair Genii_
Although the rest of New York can’t seem to see why they are so excited
about it, all the high brow married ladies of Greenwich Village are in a
