BRIEFS AND PERSONALS.

They search the household DER with car
TO find "a squeaky rocking chair.
The cards they much delight to mix,
And gayly trump their partners tricks.
They dance in an appalling style
And say excuse me" with smile.

And yet their glee one can't dispel,
Because they mean so very well.
