DROPS of Wisdom

If you hear an idle rumor,
Some ones done to you a wrong,
Never hurry, never worry,
Just sing a little song.
Just simply try and forget
Their dirty little whack.
For they surely can't be happy,
When they talk behind your back.
Pity these poor scandal mongers,
They know not what they do;
They would talk of someone else.
If they didn't talk of you;
And though you may be poor,
And live in humble shack,
You are better than the hypocrite
that talks behind your back.

The Life OF Maple Leaves


In he Sprir the swelling buds
Ga he W. ter boughs are seen,
A as b. sunshine touches them,
rney turf to Il dainty green.
Add now from buds they've been trans
formed
Like golden grain to sheaves,
You've WATCHED in Natures crucble
The birth of MAJ !e Leaves.
Through Summer time aud Autumn
They furnish grateful shade,
Underneath them in the moonlight,
Lovers VOWS are often made
But when Autumn frosts have painted
them
And they drop from off the trees,
lis the saddest season of the year,
The death Of Maple Leaves.
But when the streets and yards
Are carpeted for miles,
And everyone is working hard
To rake them into piles,
The match is touched the flames shoot
up,
The smoke it makes you sneeze,
You wipe the smoke tears from your
eyes,
lis the funeral OF the leaves.
But now it's Merry Christmas time,
And Santa Claus be comes
Will painted toys for children,
Costly gifts for older ones,
And the crystal fleecy SNOW fakes
Float softly on the breeze
A I'd form a fitting covering
For the graves Of Maple Leaves.

The Pipe

IT'S made in many shapes and forms,
OF brierwood and ash;
The aristocratic meerschaum
And the graceful calabash,
The porcelain for the Dutchman
Is to him the fitting type,
But for all kinds Of times and weather
Give me a corncob pipe.
When the Indians roamed this country
Their pipes were made of stone,
While the early pioneers
Used either clay or bone;
But for one that's always ready
And seasoned up just right
There's nothing in the world
Like good old corncob pipe.
IT'S an emblem Of peace
And a solace to your soul,
AS the old time Indian weed
Shoulders slowly in the bowl;
If your head is in a middle
And your biz don't work out right,
Just go out on the back porch
And hit the old cob pipe.
