Our Neighborhood in Brief,

Why do the busy little ants
Kick up their tiny heels and dance,
With undisguised hilarity2
Why do the youth with pretty pants
Now round them cast iurtiYe glance,
Lest custard PIES by some mischance,
Attempt familiarity
What mean these signs OF goodly cheer
These sandwiches and kegs OF beer,
These picked beets and pies severe,
Which soon will quickly disappear2
What nean these signs7 Bend low your

With all It's POPULARITY.
