Bucklin Echoes.

A crowd of gay young people,
From the vicinity of B,
Started out last Friday night
Upon dancing spree.
1t was jolly crowd,
In number one and nine,
Who hailed from all professions,
School teachers in the line.
Now, they were all together.
Within prairie schooner.
If they had gone some other way
They might have got there sooner.
But time, to them, was nothing.
They did not care for that.
One of their sad misfortunes
Was Billy lost his hat.
We were thinking and commenting
On misfortune and bad news,
When our informant told us
That MandIe lost her shoes.
Then there was still another,
Perhaps not SO great grief,
Several of this gay party
Had lost handkerchief.
But we no more will mention
The loss of this gay group.
For. to say the best you can,
Tney all were in the soup.
Then, there's another joke
That's most too good to keep,
While they were coming home
Young Johnnie went to sleep.
You bet your bottom dollar,
I'll guarantee you'll win it,
There is not one among them
Will own that he was in it.
