THE GENTUS-HUSBAND
BY George Bowen Goyier.

My husband is a brainy man,
Some day the world will know
1t,
That's what he says, though I
confess
1t may take years to show 1t.
He writes great sonnets to my
eyes.
And lines on baby's dimple,
While scientific tracts to him
Are labors very simple.
He sends his stuff to publishers
And magazines galore,
Who with regrets dispatch them
back.
But he still sends them more.
work and scrape and skiing
along,
So he may have his chance,
And try to earn enough, that he
Won't worry bout finance.
And when o'er-tired, I talk OF
"job."
He says, Now be of cheer;
l have an inspiration,
Don't interrupt me, dear"
All! well, 'spose that some great
day,
A big success he'll make,
Still, how l wish he'd sell a verse
And buy sirloin steak!
