The Worlds IFS"

If marriage were not such a doubt
full state--and women were all that
they seemed-and the dudes were oh.
liberated from the face of the earth
and the offensive partisans were not
too rampant--and we could discover
that a man may be good even before
he died-and society were not mat
rlmonial mart-and the Objectionable
features could be eliminated from the
waltz-and the collection box was not
always associated with religion-and
sensationalism were not considered
naughty by the people, and spiritual
ism did not look so like a fake-and
the suicide would not seek the incest
room in hotel wherein to die-and
the pie ''like mothers used to bake"
were more numerous-and the bad
spoilers were not so anxious to write
letters-and girls who go to cooking
schools were not too tired to help
mothers get dinner when they come
home-and the pugilist wouldn't talk
SO much about fighting-and the word
"genial' were not used so much-and
few other things were arranged
this world would not be a bad place
to live in.
