When Father Signs a Check.

They've lately served poor father "
In quite sarcastic truk,
When father sings a lullaby,
When father carves the duck.
And when he monkeys this or that
TO any rhymester's beck,
But no one yet has sung about
When father signs a check.
The old man isn't up to date
In table manners, p'raps,
And doesn't talk, or walk, or dress
Like modern college chaps;
But on his business habits, sirs,
There's neither flaw nor tleck--
You've got a paper good as gold
When father signs a check.
He uses the colonial quill;
The letters of his name
As rugged as the hand that writes
Unevenly the same.
But you can bet the jewels all
Kingly crowns bedeck
The banks hand out in the resquisitt
When father signs a check.
