Here tisi declare, it's a shame.

Of course she will say I'm to blame.
And maybe. by jinks 1t is SOL
But l am quite prone to forget.
My memory sometimes will fail;
Yes. sir, l am packing it yet
This letter she gave me to mail!
She told me to drop it that day
The minute | got off the car,
But somehow my mind went astray,
Ny thoughts, it appears, were afar.
She'll say | had plenty of cheek;
The news it contains must be stale,
I've carried 1t now for a week
This letter she gave me to mail,
| certainly thought ] should mind
And mail it, just as I agreed;
She asked me would l be so kind,
/ said twas a pleasure indeed;
And then in my pocket it stuck,
My laxity now l bewail;
1t brought me a streak of ill,luck-
This letter she gave me to mail!
We men are forgetful, at best,
And when we rush off to our work,
With business affairs We are pressed
And errands are quite prone to
shirk.
Although tbs a trifiing affair,
There's trouble ahead on my trail f;
I'll post ii right off, ! declare
This letter she gave me to mail,
At last ii is safe in the box,
'Tis seldom such slackness occurs;
My mind now is on bonds and stocks,
Instead of that letter of hers.
All fear of her temper is past.
I'll face her tonight and not quail T;
Its out of my pocket at last
That letter she gave me to mail,
