Danes and a hundred and one other
personal vexations, he may veer sud

JUST KIDS.

There are a lot of kids in town.
Well tell the universe.
Though landlords try to put them down
As something bad worse
And there is Joy where children are
Surprising hardwood floors,
Which they may slide upon and mar
When rain keeps them indoors
And children are farer sigh,
Upon the rolling lawn
Than roses'pnk as morning ligl,
Which flushcs with the dawn,
And there is music in their noise,
And would rather hear
A crowd OF little girls and boys
Than lutte note sweet and clear.
Which makes il hard TO understand
The folk whom children bore
Like landlords with their mansions grand
Who stand around and roar
And hint there ought to be law,
Or parents ought To use
club in bringing them to taw,
And otherwise abuse.
