A Day With Dad.
Fathers had a busy day
Hustled to the store al ten;
Listened to some stories gay
Told by other busy men;
Had to rattle for the smokes
With some members Of the bunch;
Spent an hour relating Jokes
And then hustled out to lunch.
Hustled back at half past two
Twice as busy as before;
Then he had a lot TO do
Telephoning for the score;
Placed a bet or two. of course.
Signed a voucher for his pay;
Came home blowing like a horse.
