That's our idea of nice thin;

But it was some little rain at

Looking down through Sam R.

.Berton Braley's Poem
FUTILiTY

FUTtliTY
You like to rise at six each day?
You like your coffee black and
strong?
You can't eat veal at ali, you say,
Because it hits your system
wrong?
And all the long, cold winter
through
You wear thin summer under
wear?
Well, though this stuff is doubtless
true,
I do not care; I do not care!
7 take cold plunge when I rise,
My breakfasts Away very
light,
I find that it is most unwise
For me to eat a lunch at night;
wear steel arches in my shoes.
T think a tonic helps my hair
But though 1 state this all as
You do not care. you do not care!
Good Lord, the precious time we
waste
Describing in minute detail
Our clothes, our food, our whims,
our taste,
Until our talk grows dull and
stale,
You speak of things that bore me
stiff
And then bore you to ge.
What use is conversation If
do not care, you do not care?
