POSTPONED PLEASURES.

I'D like 70 In a flying ship
- Co gayly awaiting
Above the people who below
Were with their fears debating.
I'd like TO sail above the town
And say. "Ah. there, my heartyl
Come up today. The air Is fine,"
To some fat, ancient party.
ia like to circle IN the clouds
Around. above and under
A summer storm that 1 might see
Just how they made the thunder,
And to discover how and whore
Its noise, ear splitting, matches,
And with the lightning light my pipe
When ran out OF matches.
Above tho housetops I would dodge
And round the windows hutter
To hear the screams the frightened girlr
On seeing me would utter.
And then I'd pick a pretty one,
Behind q curtain hiding.
And ask her 20 put on her hat
And come with mo soy riding.
It's me 20 thread the Milky way.
Where cream Is for the asking.
To skip around among the stars,
In first hand sunshine basking.
But. as haven't got the price
Nor friends who stand for touches.
I'll wait until they RIG the thing
With patent safety clutches.
