SOMEBODY'S DUDE.

Into q rink with four bleak walls,
That blazed with glare like midday light,
Where never a shadow Of sorrow rails,
Somebody's dude strolled in one night;
Somebody's dude so young and so white,
Wearing upon his innocent face
Never q sign of manhood's might,
But his scarf-pin showed a suspicion of paste.
Carefully combed are his raven curls
That lightly lie on his delicate brain.
And in his fingers he languidly twirls
In ceaseless motion goldheaded cane;
Somebody carefully combed his hair;
Was u his mother whose sight now fades?
Was II n blushng maiden fair,
Or barber as black as the ace or spadesY
There's never doubt he Is somebody's pct;
Somebody's heart has epshrined him there;
Maybe the dude has father yet,
Or mother who waits at the head Of the
stair;
Maybe q maiden, with check of rose
Is sadly awaiting the missing link,
And there he stands In a beautiful pose
In the glamour and glare of the skating rink.
But there comes a man full of honeyed guile
And fastens the cruel skates to his feet,
And stands aside with cynical smile,
And wait for his head his heels to meet.
Kiss him once for his grandmother's sake;
It's doubtful If ever she kisses him more;
The skates from his feet SO tendery take.
Sweep out the debris and close the door.
