Veuno Fool and The Old.

Young Fool ana tne Oio.
8here's no fool like young fool
When fireworks are concerned
RehoId them all. the victims small.
With hands and faces burned.
BEHOLD the famed and killed and manned,
Their needless sufferings:
There's no fool like the Old FOOL
Who gives child such things
There's no fool like a young fool
In glorious July.
To fire bomb and lose thumb
And tear away an eye.
To touch a light to dynamite
And scatter death and noise:
There's no fool like the Old Fool
Who gives a child such toys.
There's no fool like a young fool
To make the Fourth a crime.
When every nurse and every hearse
Is working overtime.
When East and west ana North anu
South.
The lists appalling grow:
There's no fool like the Old Fool
Who thinks a child should know.
There's no fool like the young fool
Who smells the powder smoke;
Rnt the awful play that mars the Day
Has ceased to be joke,
Yet Satan tempts the Ola Fool
To chuckle meath his breath
And nut among the needless young
THE instruments Of death.
