Tell me, please, did you come to stay?
Will your smiles driyo all the showers
away,
And wipe out old man April's frown ?
They say your acts are wondrous true,
So great the things that you can do.
I'd like to ask just one of you:
Can you cut the cost of living down ?

(Sic i'm, Prince! he hit papal)
There is a man who never drinks,
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears;
Who never CANDLES, never flirts,
And shuns all sinful snares-
He's paralyzed!
There is man who never does
A thing that is not right
His wife can tell just where ne is

He's dead!

There n no part of the land which u
