The Perfect Housekeeper.
She always kept everything perfectly
clean
From the cellar clear up to the top;
For neatness and order she surely was

And no one could get her to stop.
Her husband could never find comfort at

For fear he would muss up the place
Where his wife with a'broom and dus-
ter would roam
With stern sort of look on. her face.
She never had time to be reading a book,
She never had time for call.
Instead she was scrubbing some corner
or nook.
Or sweeping the stairs or the hall:
She swept all her beauty and gladness
away
She swept all the JOY out OF life
Until she became an sutomaton gray,

She scrubbed all the love from the
