SEEN ON THE SIDE

By ron Is. MOuLToN

'oS hNCAy SaScsn0ns
In olden days the Cavc-man dug
His home, or found it there,
with skins he lined the inside snug
And furnished 1t with care;
It's true he WAS the janitor
OF his apartment new
Or old. this did not matter. for
He was the owner, too.
He did not worry at the price
OF anything 10 wear,
For shoes he'd cut am ample slice
OF skin and mako pair.
His coat and trousers also were
onc-piece garment. free
From all restrictions. and the fur
Was warm as wool can be.
There were no profiteers to fleece
Him on the price of food.
OF jerkcd meat he would take q piece
When he was in the mood.
Green groceries grew in the woods
Before this Cave-man's door,
He merely had to pick his goods
They cost him nothing more!
Likewise. if he should wish 10 brew
drink that suited him
There was no w. c. r. u.
Or prohibition within
To throttle his desire and make
Him cater to their way:
Oh, lucky Cave-man it would break
Your heart to live today!
