"A picnic prophecy, from the Smo
erville Journal:
The picnic season now Is here,
And the pAragraphist
Must furbish UP with new veneer
: The tests we long have missed.
Tho young man in the new light Pants
WIN crush the blithe squash pie
The sandwiches alive with ants
Will make the children cry.
Fond lovers In the forest glade
Their eager love will tell,
Whom all at once the timid maid
II Will see snake and yell.
II The man who swings the pretty girls
win make his shoulders lamoj
. The dude who tries 20 row boat
u VIII wonder why he came.
- The thunder storm that ends the fun
Win crash down prompt at fouri
d With startled shrieks the girls will run
! And drabbled skirts deplorc.
, Oh, yes, the picnic seasons here,
=: And the paragraphist
n win do his duty, never fear-
a And yet, he'd not be missed.
