weeks calendar shows Whist club
meeting and an art lecture. Here is
the way cur townsmen will live Cor
few weeks hence:
See the mOVies-reel or two
(Nothing else that you can do.
Push the bricks a while, and then
Push the same bricks back again
Go into a "fizz-fizz'' store
(Bcen there just an hour before),
Hear that new one" on the Ford;
Yawn somewhat. but don't seem bored.
Meander home to your two y-four.
Same old key in the same old door.
Read the paper; find out if
There's any news in the weekly Biff.'
Doff your buds and squelch the glim,
Bed IS welcome-head's a-swim-
For suck fast-gait life as this
Would make an iron mans engine
