W. II. Rofe, THE corn man at Brooks"
has perpetrated the following:
When you get up in the morning from your
superheated couch
With a brain all hot and added and a tenn
per fun of crouch;
When you wander to your office with dull
and fi>hy eye
Meath sun that's gayly blazing like fur
mace in the sky,
Oh, its hot, bat don't YOU mind if. though
you're W.trd and forlorn;
It's little tough for mortals, but it's mighty
good for corn.
When You Stagger home to dinner in blind
ing glare of heat
And you smell the burning leather of the
shoes beneath your feet;
When your mouth is full of cotton and YOUR
collars on the run
And you bake and fry and frizzle like an
oyster in the sun,
Don't cuSs about the weather and don't
NOPE about and mourn;
II little breath of hadeS but it mighty
good for corn.
When you spend the humid evening full Of
anger and despair,
Chasing round with cots and pillows after
cooling breaths of air;
When you're hot and damp and sticky and
you think with mortal dread
OF that little hot air oven that surrounds
your waiting bed,
GU may contemplate resignng from this
torrid earth in scorn,
But you re'foolish if you do it-this is bully
for the corn.
There is nothing so nleAsant as that
