Fleeing,


The June bug lives q very brief
And uneventful life.
He hardly gets acquainted with
His children and his wife.
His life at best il but about
A minute and q day,
And that, you see, is not enough
Surroundings to survey.
It hardly seems to be worth whiles
Or SO 1t would appear.
To take the trouble to be born
For such a brief career.
There isn't time to study French
Or learn to read and write
When one is born at early morn
And goes before the night
The June bug doesn't have the time
Big lecture dates to fill.
He never ran for Office yet.
What's more, he never will.
He hardly sees the passing show
In dropping in and out,
Nor does he clearly understand
Just what it Is about
The June bugs life is very short.
Who knows that 1t Is sweet2
And he is lucky If he gets
A single meal to eat.
He doesn't have the time perhaps
To know he is forlorn
Because the creature ups and dies
Almost before he's born

claim deceived anyone is surprising 1t was charged

circumstances he was expected to appreciate HI; ob
gauons to the organization of course but voters
might if they chose wreck that Organization at any
n16ment and compel reform
Now the candidate before the primary dominates him

platform, supplies the funds appears on the stump for
himself and must look himself for his election When
