Because you buy q membership

Does not prevent the Red Cross folks
From further buttin' in;
For there is now precedent
For fitting out the pets
That sweetly browse about the house
In search OF toothsome bets.
You cannot be century plant

Unless you Join for everything
That wiggles OF its toes.
You cannot claim your record clean
Nor be a true Home Guard,
Unless each dog and cat and pig
Around you has card!

A puerile pup named Bob
Who trots around with him each day
A keeping on the job.
And on his dog there Is a heas
AS Bob will prove to you.
Says Nick, "l'm kind-since Bob has

But every nea has little IDEAS.
And thus ad infinitum.
We Judge he'd ought to line for all

And offer praises up
