NOT AT HOME
The front door now Is boarded up,
The pictures all are netted,
The Wailng cat on the backward fence
Invokes the muse unpetted.
The butler holds his matinee,
with help from cook Mccarthy,
The waitress and the chambermaid
Now give an evening party
Unto the baker butcher boy,
And others of the neighbors,
Who form that little coterte,
lie csrcIe de 6eja6ers,
The grand piano Rroans aloud,
The gas-bill grows apace,
And of the wine that once was there.
The cellars show no trace.
The drawing room that once did hold
The hluest hlood-and thick
Is now the happy meeting place
OF Bridget and of Mick.
AL this is sure to happen when
The old man can afford
To ante up the Wherewithal
To take the folks abroad. Lie.
