q OFFICE BOY.

Gear WILLIE is our office boy
A bright and cheerful lad;
Ee is so innocent he does
Not know the good from bad.
(He tries to make you believe.)
And when he sits beside the stove
And reads the evening paper,
You would not think that he could cut
A single low down caper,
Of you didn't know him.
And yet, one day, while distributing "pi,"
(The daring little sonnyi)
He told Bob White his silly stuff
Was 'not a dam bit funny"
(And came near getting killed.)
He placed a Strengthened fish-hook on
The Ghost reporters chair,
And when AL. Bennett did sit down
Strange language rent the air.
(And a mallet went whizzing at him.
He pinned a card "got skoopt" on
'Rastus Shepherds back;
And where the foreman's trousers bulge
He stuck a carpet tack.
(Then Willie did get thumped.)
Deep in the coal box once he hid
The shears of him who clips;
And said all that "Larkin" thought about
Was his early morning s'nips."
(And who he'd "work" for 'em.)
With old and dirty paste he filed
Poor Andy Winscott's shoes;
Then sneaked behind a printers case
And took a little snooze,
with '.Bob," the Office dog.)
Some day our Willie will get shot
His little soul will soar
Up to the Angels and he'll be
Our office boy-no more!
(Heaven will be Willie's home.)
