THE FUN OF FISHING.

And into hearts consumed with wishing

And steals a dimpled arm around me;
A kiss upon my lips-that's bait
Some information to astound me,
Her bonnet is quite out of STYLE
Her summer wrap quite past the using;
That lovely one--so cheap at Browns
Is just the one she would be choosing.
That's fishing.
So, whether the game be fish or men,
The bait be kisses, worms or bushes
The place at home, by sunny pool.
