The following verse was written by
a Topeka man who chooses to keep
his name secret:

the boys would always shun her. No
one would ever take her out, or to
picnics in the summer. And when the
dancing season came, I believe she

to care for her. she wasn't any fun.
She had never travelled very far, not
even worldly wise. She couldn't talk
of an earthly thing, never argued nor
criticised She wore such simple little
frocks, her hair she combed straight
back. Her shoes had low fiat heels,
it was "get up" that she lacked. She
could cook pretty well and way head
of other girls at school, and on house
work and washing dishes she wasn't
any fool. She would rather take care
of the neighbor kids than to go with
the gang. She could take good care
of an invalid, but for beaux, didn't
giveNa hang. The boys sure dubbed
her right when they called her Dole

tell our main street from an alley.
