And wrote with the weather clerks INK
Lets see." unused the rogue as his dimples
played boo
There's tennis and bowling and motoring

And moonlighted prom's UP and down.
'There'n be rowing and yachting through
long idle days
And hammocks swung under low boughs,
with walks up the mountain and drives
down the glen.
And music and goodbys and vows"
Then he dipped his pen deep in the weather

And wrote take the signs all together,
We feel 1t Is safe to predict fair year,
And lots of good marrying weather"
