The leap year girls in every town,
Are most decidedly flip;
They mean business ell the time
And will not loose their grip.
The boys look wild and fearful,
At the girls who pass them by;
AndfiR meeting them are careful,
For they know there is "blood" in their
eye.
If a girl undetermined to get there"
And has marriage stuck in her craw;
The boy che ace gets mashed on,
Must request her tos'ask his papa"
If he don't. God pity his top-knot,
For she is prepared to do and to dare;
To attempt to drown sorrow in rot gut,
Will loose him every bit of his hair.
