HUMOROUS QUIpS
Busting Things Up.

There was a fellow got a bunch
That he was very strictly a..
Just 20 get even with his boss
lie quit.
The boss he bore II wondrous well.
He never walled or moa9ed or swore.
But said. "As you 40 out don't slam
The door"
The other boys about the place
Did not go moplng much that day.
They laughed and said goodby and drew
Their pay.
He thought: They do not realize
That have left them to their fate.
So much the better. Let them laugh.
But waitv
And then he ambled down the street
And confidently told the town,
Now, fellows. watch and SEQ the boss
FAN down"
Somehow or other things went on;
The business did not go 20 smash.
The boss went smiling as he grabbed
The cash
And every day the fellow met
Some friend who didn't know he'd quit
And didn't care and wasn't sore
A bit.
IL rather stunned him that the world
Went booming on through day and night
AS we'll as when he used TO keep
IL right.
Somehow there isn't any man
For whom the whole creation sduirms,
And good meR cluster round a Job
Like germs
And when you up and leave your place
And think the whole blame works will
quit
The joker boilers: Tag. old mani
You're liz
The world goes plugging. plodding on.
AS unooncerned as II can be.
III you are mentioned some one asks,
who's her.
