The Milwaukee Sentinel brings to hand
the $500 prize love song of which Miss
Wiener Of Wauwatosa, Wis, is
the talented authoress and for which she
drew the neat little stipend Of $500 re-
Gently offered by the Sentinel to the poet
esses of Wisconsin. There are parts Of
Miss Wiener's effusion which we do not
care to publish, but other sections seem
to be printable For instance, the au-
thoress starts off in sturdy canter after
this fashion:
Sweetheart. only crave this boon
That in your heavenly embrace
may in joyous rapture swoon,
But somehow, when seek to spoon,
81 l get thrown out at second base.
Darling, the lovelight in your eyes
Is brighter than the lighthouse glare
That throws itself across the skies,
Sweeter to me than luscious pies,
You are the works, do declare.
After telling how much she thinks Of
this anonymous gentleman in the case,
and remarking that when he shows up
at her house she intends
TO cling to thee
As to the canine clings the flea.
Miss Wiener adds:
If all the roses of the spring
Were pressed into single kiss,
II all the songs that angels sing
Were mine, l wouldn't do thing
But write ode to show up this.
The thrilling close Of Miss Wiener's
touching ode is calculated to soften the
hardest heart. She sings her goodnight
to the darkening skies thus:
Sweetheart. 4 could so this way
For weeks--I do SO love to write,
But nothing dear, that / could say .,
Would be enough. Me to the hay.
It's getting late. Old socks, good night.
We claim that the Sentinel has been
worked for that $500.
