3 Daily Poem
SZBUZE

A little song to you sing
But not a song OF love;
That might not be the proper thing
For me to warble Of.
For though perhaps j know you
well,
Perhaps 1 know you not.
/ don't know where or how you
dwell
Nor who you are. nor what!
1 will not sing your form so frail,
Nor of your beauty rave.
For you might be husky male
Who badly needs a shave;
] cannot praise your Joyous youth
Because, for all 1 know,
You may have cut your wisdom
tooth
Some fifty years ago.
Yet this I lSnow-unless this lay
Shall chance to please your taste
Twill be a lyric thrown away
And wholly gone to waste;
SO though it's vague and silly, too,
/ hope from out the throng
To win some need OF praise from
you.
Dear reader OF this songl

Maybe fresh fruits and vegetables do
seem expensive in the winter time, but
they are cheaper than doctors bills.
Experiments have shown that the use
OF acid phosphate does not produce acid
soils. contrary to the ideas of many.
Manure left under the caves of the
barn or out in the rain this winter will
lose most Of its fertility before spring
comes.
Rooms where winter gatherings are
held should be well ventilated; otherwise

raising as it has into cotton growing. this
part Of the country viii lead in hogs as
it has led in cotton.
