A LITTLE SLICE o. LIFE.
Rbu.KMoQNM:

The other day q happy young man,
Connected with our office,
Took unto himself a wife,
And he came down to the old dump
The next day after the ceremony
To hear what people would say.
The single men in our place
All rushed up and shook his hand
And palavered over him
And told him how lucky he was
To be married.
After the single boys
Had exhausted the dictionary
And THE Book of Polite Phrases"
The married men filed by,
In a slow, melancholy procession.
As the serred ranks of veterans
Shuffled up toward the bridegroom
There were tears in many eyes.
Silently they took his hand
And gazed at him in gloom.
"Congrats" murmured one, "Woofwoof!'
Good luck" grouched another.
