To please our friends down the street,
Again we try our hand at rhyme,
Then from Parnassus we retreat,-
For tru y we have not the time,
When waiting patrons crowd around,
Eager to buy Of FRANK s. Co.
To give 10 truth poetic sound,
And let them disappointed go.
In fact we cannot help but wonder,
How sadly looks our chubby friend,
And though he fumes much at our thunder,
We surely meant not to offend.
Oh take it easy, gentle neighbor,
We know your goods you seldom sell,
And if twill save you any labor,
The reason of tive will tell;
For all your arts the folks to wheedle,
And ease them of their extra fps,
WON'T answer like the thread and needle,
10 save coat or vest from rips.
Instead OF busting try our plan,
Put in the stitches thick and strong,
Then you can look up like man,
And like your neigh5ors get alung.
just try fur once the honest mode,
And make an effort not to cheat.
With envy then you'll not corrode,
Nor glance so sadly up the street,
The people still will bear in mind,
The fact which all our patrons know,
That extra clothing they will find,
Whenever they deal with FRANK s. Co.
Truth needs no gaudy flowers Of speech,
1t wins its way with hJnest men,
Who. when proper place they reach,
Are always sure to call again.
