LlFE'S A FUNNY PROPOSITION
AFTER ALL.

Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and
wonder, sit and think,
Why we're hero and what this life is
all about?
les problem that los driven MANY
brainy men to drink:
II 8 the wierdest thing they We tried to
figure out,
About thousand different theories all
the scientists can show,
But never have proved reason whv
With all we've thought and all we've
taught,
Why all we seem to know is we're born
end live awhile and then we die.
Lies very funny proposition, after
all,
Imagination, jealousy, Hypocrisy and
gail;
Three meals day, a whole lot to cav:
When you haven t got the coin you re
always in the way.
ETerybody's fighting as we wend our
way along,
Ev'fy fellow claims the other fellow
III the wrong;
Hurried and worried until we're buried
and thero's no curtain call;
Life q a very funny proposition after
all.
When all things ere coming easy and
when luck ls with man,
Why thor 'iTe 10 hir is sunshjpe ev'ry-
where
lib en- The yates blow rather breezy and
they quito upset plan;
Then he'll cry that life s d burden hard
TO bear.
hough So day may re q day Of scoiles
&C. ruorrow's still iu doubt,
hnd what brings me Joy mav bring
you care ana woe;
No re born 10 die, but don't know
why,
Cr 'qnat it's ali about, and the more we
try to learn these things the loss
we know,
Lies very funny proposition, YOU
can bet
And no ones ever solved the problem
proper rs yet:
Young for day. then Old and gcey,
like the 20 . tat buds aDd blooms and
fades ana tails away,
Loe,ng heaith to gam our wealth a.
;hEo' tus dream we rour,
E7 "Jthin&'e guee3 and nothing Also.
