CONTRAST
Who is this man who looks so glum.
Who wanders here ana there.
And looks about quite aimlessly
In avenue and square;
Who takes his meals in restaurants
And lonely sleeps at home,
And sees the hungry Thomas cat
Across the back shed roam?
His wife is out of town.
Who is that woman light and glib
Who fits adown the way,
And in the finest summer robes
Goes out upon the bay
A-sailing with the nice young man
Who's just come home from Paris,
While with a lorgnette she is watched
BY prying Mrs. Harris?
Her husband is in town.
