There's no one so maddening as Dolly
She half drives me crazy, my word

And really, you know, twas absurd
The way she kept kissing that Danny.

She smiled and again kissed the pup
I've oft laughed at reincarnation
As jolly good rot. don't you know:
A sort of Grimm Brothers creation,
A fairy-tale tedious and slow.
But now, after hours of pondering,
The most pleasing picture hug

LOVE AND The LOTUS FLOWER

False love ate of the lotus flower
And died on a woman's breast
And another love in the selfsane hour
Was born with flaming crest;
And the new owe buried the old love
deep,
And laughed in its youthful might.
Il shall live for aye!' was it's boastful
cry
But it passed with the passing night.
True love ate of the lctus flower
And dropped and hung it's head,
And there We're those. sweet true
loves foes,
Who cried that it was dead.
But true love woke from it's dream
again,
And the only thing forgot
Was the dream itself. like former
pain
For true love diath not.
