BETTY'S CHECK.
When Betty draws a check. a little
frown
Bursts into crumpled bloom upon
her brow,
AS though a rose might seek to dis
avow
Its rosehood and its tenderness put
down
With coolest dignity. Her tresses
brown
With finger tips she touches, soft;
and now
She opes the little book and wonders
now
Men do it-easy-with the date and
all
In the right places. So-she dips
the pen
And dates the number blank; with
flourish tall
And angular writes Thursday
thinks-and then
She fills it for misunderstanding
ten.
Then signs her fathers well known,
honored scrawl,
And signs and blots it! Nothing but
the bloom
OF wrinkled brow to indicate the
wreck
She consummates. All, drums should
boom,
And fussy bank cashiers be hurled
to doom,
And harps should tink-when Betty
draws check.
