CITY NOTES.
AUGUST.


While Cupid in the rural chimes
Shoots his assorted darts.
The maidens all do dress in white,
In fimsy textured gown,
While Sol goes on an awful spree
And red-hot paints the town.
The flies, with great perception, too,
Do roost on luscious man,
And merrily bite the live-long day
While flip-flop goes the fan.

The moon the dogs do bark at,
And nice fresh kittens in the yard,
Are yelling for their ma cat.
