Profit sharing is highly popular in these days.
If this system endures the wear and tear of
lean years, which must come at times to every

that it will outlast the strain of seasons in
which there are no gains. only losses?

(Both were so young and SO fair)
Wearing these quaint furbelows,
Such an odd hat. and such hair,
Curling in ringlets of tan
Coyly each side Of ones nose,
Fancy Aunt Primm, If you can.
Smiling demurely through those!
What can this be? Oh, my dear,
This is Aunt Primm's valentine.
Happy when thou, love, art near,
When thou art gone / repine.
How did she ever get this?
She, with that obdurate face?
Could she have yielded a kiss
Once in moment of grace?
Think of her, Rose, with a beau!
Did the man ever propose?
Fancy her laundering no.
Lifting that Dante-esque nose.
yet, there's a picture she keeps;
Even Aunt Primm may have dreams
Each afternoon when she sleeps
Dear me- how odd it all seemsl"
