And news collects each day.
I'll occupy" this old machine
And "turn the crank" my way.
OF course I'll fix my 'locals" FIRST,

With wit and wisdom-spicy things
"a la" his biggest boom.
The latest? "The Bandanna"! ah
The Thurman ball so gay!
They danced "the round', they danced
''the square,"
None, merrier than they.
Few Broyles had they, their bliss to mar,
No lass or lads, Sewer,
No maid with Hardin looks, to cast
Upon some beau, fear
That he'd become luckless wight
In life's important game.
And so OF course twas success
al puG'' for 7Anyman'S name.
The Musicale" that came to naught-
Supplanted for the hour
By pattring rain-drops rhythmic drip
And ''warring elements" pow'r.
Too bad ''The Fates" should thus withhold
So much of Pleasures gift
AS sad as making music mute
By the lute's oft-quoted "riff'
think III give little space
To politics. Of course
The people must have good advice
From some indicions Sonyce.
