Talk of Evolution of
Things changing and all that stuff
It's fine to read of things like that
But that is not enough
The Evolution we would like to see
For which we have looked and still
look
We can't see why they don't Evo-
lutte
Our darned old telephone book.
The one we have, will keep longer
of course,
If we keep it out of the weather,
But if they are to be used over two
years,
They should be bound in leather.
The museum is the place for relic
so rare
And our way of thinking it ought
to be there.
Just think, stop, listen, look?
At our antiquated telephone book.
F. d. II.
Recent surveys have demonstrated
that the salaries paid to ministers
are inadequate. Now will some kind
hearted soul, desirous of hedping
some worthy people get out the sur
veying paraphernalia and start a
survey on the editors salary. Never
mind, though, because / guess that
they don't make such small and del
/ icate instruments.
