Rippling Rhymes
The Idle Rich.
BY WALT MASON.

The Idle Rich.
The Idle rich are showing their
right to be on earth; TO war we see
them going, TO scrap for all they're
worth. Not sullenly or slowly, and
not with feet CONCEALED, but with a
fervor holy the rich boys seek the
field They're fighting in the navy,
and every morn thy pray, 'Oh, let us
knock the gravy from some fat foe
today" They're training and they're
drilling, with patriotic vim, they're
full OF pep and willing TO sacrifice n
limb. Their lives at home at sunny,
1t was their JOY and pride to blow
in all the money their fathers would
provide They ode in cushioned
motors, regardless OF the cost. and
and other voters considered them n
frost. But now we see them moving
where raging armies meet. and they
nre surely proving that they're as
good as wheat The Cilded lads are
building themselves "A laurel wreath /;
they've shaken off the gliding, and
shown the gold beneath. Their faith
ers pay the taxes, with smiles serene
and high, and they swing battle axes
and make the Teuton fly, They are
so deep in slaughter, they heed not
bulls and bears; on land. in air and
water, you see the miilionaires.
