And shyiy works his lit'ry snap

His friends say. when one comments on
The largeness OF his snap
Yes: but success has not spoiled John,
He's such a modest chap"
The calcium beats upon his brow,

John tries to dodge it-but. somehow,
The limelight always gets him.

And winks the other eye.

And a moss grown We'll beside.

He brings no flowers wet with fragrant

But violets coy by messenger boy
He sends his love to tell.
He proposes by wire in words OF fire
Ten little words alone
And she whispers yes-as you may guess.
Over the telephone,
Then the wedding day and the word

For thus they mate in the up to date
