THE PRACTICAL POET.

~HE poet toiled long Ger lovelorn

n And he told of visions dim
OF the tender touch of dear, dead
days"
That would never come back to him.
He croOned of the twilight of the heart
And the souls wild passion waves"
OF ''shipwrecked lives that drifted apart"
And are buried in nameless graves"
lie sent to the various magazines
His verses of virie vim;
But like the mem ~ of joyous scenes
They swiftly came back to him.
Then he, in a voice of thund' rous pitch,
mathematical the muse
And vowed he would write some verses
which
No business man would refuse
So he turned his somber, sepulchraf lays
Into rhymes of joy and hope
By making them pRans of lofty praise
For cereals. shoes and soap.
He voiced the virtues of pills and SNUFF

And publications az print his stuff
