He is now tripping on his beard._

Memories of the Depot Man
Down on a depot platform,
Bathed in the bleak wintry breeze,
Shy long ago of its contents,
With nothing inside it to freeze;
Shy long ago of its contents,
Drained of its last amber dreg,
Bungless and beerless and friendless,
Stands an empty eight gallon keg.

She—You married me for love and got it.
Old Foggie—You married me for money and got it.
She—I’ll tell the world I earned it.

While swimming someone stole his clothes, so he painted a number on his
B. V. D.’s and ran home like a track man.

and the money saved can be used to buy a new worm for our still; the old
one is almost worn out.”
