Gush
By Arthur Brooks Baker.

OH, blessings. on the art of gush,
whose magical infusion
Can stimulate the weary brain with
marvellous illusionl
Ii makes the very cheapest child his
mammals precious treasure.
And fills the highly hattered dad
with oodle-ums of pleasure
II makes the scrawny. freckled girl
her lovers darling ducky,
And let's him wonder how on earth
he came to be so lucky.
Applaud the noble art Of gush, that
wonderful transformer
Which makes the jaded ear prick
up. the cooling pulse grow
warmer.
BY gush the dress becomes a gown,
a beautiful creation;
BY gush the thing we call a job be-
comes a situation;
BY gush our rather seedy and unin-
teresting neighbor
Becomes the candidate for whose
success we love to labor.
Set high the browning art of gush!
With language warm and
youthful
1t Gnds delightful lies which tenn
porarily seem truthful.
1t finds a nation svyarming with a
host of whiskered ZerOes,
And magically turns it TO the father
land of heroes.
Let cynics call the gushfest down
and plead for its abatement;
| sing the praise and merit of artis-
tic over-statement.
