William F. Kirk

HAVE a new ideee about making
I'D some verses, sed Pa have
\ tried for a long time to git a new
idee. sumthing that is a lot out of the
ordinary, so that all Of tie editors viii
jump at a chanst to git my lines
I am glad that a crate lite is brak-
ing oaver you, sed Ma 1 wish you
wud tell me what yure idee is q how
much mummy you think you can git
for each pOme you I1te- Inare IS SO
many things that I need Here is a
list mat / made out to-day befoar you
read me any of the lines that you nave
rote:
Two yards of Irish lace, to fix up an
old frock- Goodness knows, sed Ma,
that the old thing is falling 10 peeces,
but I was thinking that cud use the
Irish Ice on new frock wen you glS
reddy to buy me a new one some time
the first OF the month.
The second artikel on my list sed
Ma, is a frock for dark coverings, Wen
the Iites aren't so bright as thay are
on lite evenings. You know, deer, sed
Ma, that with the complexion wien
have have to have two different colors
Of frocks. so I want this second trOck
so I can match it with the old Irish
lace that I am going 10 tare off OF my
old frock to put onto the new rock
that you are going to be good boy
and buy for me.
Third on the List.
Third on the list sed Ma. is a vanity
box Ny old one, which l got neerly
six weeks ago, is all dented up A lat
man that got on the subway at Grand
St. knocked it off wen he was setting
in the next sect TO me, & a old lady
which was standing up in front Of the
fat man happened to step on It 1
dident blaim the old lady, sed Ma. bee
Klaus she shud have had the sect
The next thing on my list sed Ma
is a luyly set Of furs for next season
I dOant need them now OF course, sed
Ma, but I can git them so cheep now.
& 1 was thinking that 1t wud be a good
idee to buy them vile 1 have chanst.
Thav viii be fine for next winter, II
I can git sum nice suites TO ware with
them & match them Doant you think
so? sed Ma
Well, sed Ma. the next thing on the
list OF things that I am going to buy
is sum IuvIy January. Missus Holly
was showing me sum she had Jest
bought, six cOmpleet sets and regIar
Paris models. If you was lady insted
of a man, sed Ma, & cud see them
butifuI Paris models, you wud rave
Oaver them.
Yes, yes. sed Pa. go on
A Few More TEifIeE.
Wei. sed Ma, thare is only a few
other littel things on the list that I
can think Of now, x viii wait Tor
them until next week The others
can De uSeQ NANCY any llAucs NOM
deereSt. luV sed Ma, what kind CT
poetry have you got to show me?
This may sound like nonsense to
you, sed Pa. but it is kind of jingly, I
think.
Here's to the soldier wich went to
the war
& Knew what his knife & fork was
for
Here's to his fat & living wife,
Wich stayed at home & ate with her
knife.
I doant like it, sed Ma 1t is kind
of silly, & besides, it is a slur on US
winner.
Then I guess I will give up trying
to rite. sed Pa I did intend to maik
a lot of extra mummy this way, so you
cud have everything yure little heart
desires. But now I am thru.
Oh. cum to think of it, sed Ma, that
is a reglar funny peece of poetry. I
jest got the point deerest
Yes, sed Pa, & did too. Tare up
yure list, deerest luv.
