Repairs to the boiler of the Potomac

which | watchfully had walted)
and wore a smile from ear to ear.
And now the almanac informs
ME the years already six weeks

rest are fooling and loaflng
through the golden days. along
the highway you go tooling your

all the rest are sweetly snoring,
and human toll has known a
slump, your wagon wheels go rip
ping, roaring, down, down to the
eternal dump. We mortals labor
in the daytime, a few brief hours,
and then repose; we feel we
ought to have our playtime, and
see the moving picture shows.
There is a lull in our endeavor,
whenever we can find excuse, but
YOU, oh. Time, rush on forever,
rush on, like bitten broken loose.
You make us old, before we know
it, impartially you swat us all;
the priest. the plumber and the
poet-from all of them you take
Il fall. Rest. Father Time, slow
Up your paces-you need a holi-
