VALE KING ALCOHOL!
By VINTON A HOLBROoK

Well, Mr.. Booze, your day is past,
. don't linger, there's no use;
For Demon Rum is voted out; we're
going to try grape juice;
It will not make us stagger and make
us the butt of laughter,
Nor will it make us clark brown
in our taste the morning after
You wonder where your friends all
are that used to love you SO,
Who stood all night beside the bar
and freely spent their dough;
Don't worry, sir, their hearts are true,
they mourn for you in black,
They'd spend their last red cent on
you, if they could only get you
back,
You were their friend helped to spend
their money, Mr.. Booze,
So they didn't have to waste it buy
ing children's clothes or shoes,
Nor use it for such common things
as grocer's bills or rent.
For when with you it just took wings
and vanished every cent.
Each morn they promised to be good,
and drink "No, nevermore,"
Each night they said two lamp posts
stood where but one stood before.
You gave them many jolly time, you
made them rant and rave.
You helped some of them into crimes,
and some into the grave.
You aided many gentle maid, once
innocent and fair,
To start upon the downward grade,
and end in dumb despair;
And many a man of character whose
wit shone like the star,
You made a homeless wanderer, or
placed behind the bars.
know that many citizens will hate
to see you go,
Delirium tremens, specialists find it
their death blow;
But if between the decent path and
you we have have to choose,
Well take the former, though it's
dry; so farewell, Mr.. Booze.
