TO A oUIJA BOARD.

TO A OUIJA BOARD.
Oh ouiia, little ouija, you're
comic little cuss;
You tell in manner most demure
Things quite ridiculous.
I'VE never felt your nutty lure
To me you're zero plus.
But ouija little ouija why
Do people question you
When YOU meier yet have made reply
That's sensible or true?
Tell me your system, please, 50
Can be a ouija, too.

And now I've gotta hook my ford
Say, ouija, won't va show
ME- how to be Ouita board
So can make some dough?

Ouija-yes children. that was the dogs name
when Ouija suddenly showed his nose under
the descending drill What did you ask,
Angelina, child? Was ouija bored:
| All, yes dearie, he was. In fact he
loved him and couldn't bear to part with him.
So kindly taxidermist made Ouija look al
most as good as new and for years after that
he disgraced the center table in the home. And
now, children. that you have learned how the
first Ouija board came into being. you must
run along to bed Goodnight, little
dears.
