A GRIEFLET ON HIS Heartfelt
Tve a griefet at my heartfelt
That naught on earth will cure,
I'ye a sghlet in my sOullet
l hardly can endure.
I'd a girllet at the dancelet-
Ten dollars all around;
NV last centlet took a sklplet
And left me hard aground.
There's no hopelet in my lifelet,
Pm sad, respondent man;
There's a damlet in my mOuthlet
From Be-ersheba to Dan.
And the whylet of the griefet
l can tell you p. d. O.,
Twas the pallet of the girllet
Who sought an interview.
When the girllet reached her homelet,
The old man met us late.
And his footlet in his bOotlet
Caught me hanging on the gate,
Merchant TrdUeler.
