Developments Of the last few

The Chatterbox
BY Arthur Brooks Baker

The human voice is lovely. it is eIe-
CANT and nice;
When purchased for the phonograph
its often worth the price
It decorates the atmosphere with
amiable frills,
Delivering to grateful ears appreci-
able thrills
And stimulated listeners may prop
erly rejoice
To hear that wonderful machine. the
well-knOwn human voice.
But all. what fatal torture when we
hearken TO the lass
Whose silence is a miracle that's
never brought to pass,
Who shouts her conversation forth
without a pause or break,
Till every ear in forty rods is full Of
grief and ache,
Who never interrupts herself by any
pause for rest,
But clacks with fierce persistency.
with energy and zest.
Fair maiden, could you only find a
way in which to check
The unrelenting flow of noise which
issues from your neck.
Your friends and fellow passengers
upon this mortal sphere
Would utter in your honor polite
and jolly cheer.
The loud and raucous chatterbox
unpityingly serves
To raise the very dickens with our
auditory nerves.
