GOOD NEWS FOR THEATRECoERS

On The Rapid Deterioration of Garter
Elaslics
Capricious things are garter bands;
Traitors in a way
Malicious no one understands
Elastic webs won't stay
In any one position
For any length OF time,
They fall down in their mission
And almost lead TO crime.
In summertime they get RED hot
The rubber hugs so tight
our veins feel all tied in a kl-ot
And we would like 10 fight
The guy who wished them on US
For such temonic whims
We'd hang him in a harness
OF these twin pests for limbs
Relief is sought; we fix them loose.
But soon our soX hang down
In graceess folds about our shoes.
And cause a deepning frown;
For each time they're adjusted
They flop right down again.
With garters we're disguised
And breathe a "damn"-Amen.
When wintry winds blow round our shanks
Elastcs lose their pep.
But he not hasty with your thanks
For ye know not the step
Those secret sins of raiment
Old rose or Alice blue
Will drop out on the pavement
To make boob of you,
A pair of garters bought today
To At your calf so sleek

They'll stretch so in "A week.

No matter what their hue,
