Our II. Z. l.. :.
blessings on thee. little man,
Barefoot boy with cheek OF tan,
With thy turned up pantxloons
And thy merry whistled tunes
This was all right
In Whittier's time.
But for our u. |. LIS
Is not worth dime.
Imagine their lips
Kissed by strawberries red,
A torn hat. top.
Their biz brainy head.
Their trousers turned up
As It's said In the verse,
And yet We know
There are fashions much worse.
This happened to our boys
A long time ago
Before anyone dreamt
There was =. r.. o.
These same little boys
To manhood have grown.
They're grocers. In politics.
Have homes OF their own.
They dreamt OF happiness
But were sore discomfort
To find that this pleasure
Was not for them meant.
For the wife began wearing
\ bright golden star
Now they are terribly worried
Wondering what =. r. O.'s are.
But they love us In sorrow.
Through all OF our Ills
And We love them. dear boys
while they're footing the bills"
They may tease or may flstter.
To US Its no matter.
We cant do without them.
Here's health to our Il. I. LIS.
