picasnntrien,

Pieasnntries.
This life is filled with plea santrics
FOR ducal lines and peasantries,
And everything conspircs to keep
Good nature to the fore;
From kings to proletariat,
Fate throws its humorous lariat-
Just ropes them in like little sheep,
For cabbases or war.
No difference what your station is
Nor who your next relation Is,
You're huddled with the happy bunch
And have to take your share;
You slip. and everyone outlaws
Your bout with grayitation's laws,
And none who laughs has got the bunch
He'll be performing there.
Who ono day leads society
May next. with great propricty
BE hitting the banana peel
And grunting at the fall!
And thus, with dukes and peasantries
Life plays its little pleasantries
That seem designed to make us feol
Some kinship, after all.
