A CURRENT TOPIC

They built US = bridge Of lumber and
logs,
A menace to the fish, a joy to the
frogs,
On curve of the river, just over the
way
A source of real trouble in tax that
we pay.
Unlike the Pyramids it did not endure
The increasing pressure Of water so
pure,
For coming events cast their shadows
before,
When the snowflakes they melted and
moistened the shore.
For the ice and the snow that winter
does bring
Is always liable to melt in the spring,
So l will suggest while Pm writing
this note,
We junk this bridge problem and pur-
chase a boat.
For Noah is seems was a practical
With unusual high water to test out
his plan,
No trucks or no tractors with gasoline
feed
In this way of progress he had moth
ing indeed.
But he went to the mill for some
stringers and plank;
When he nailed them together they
called him a crank;
When it started to raining those
neighbors that laughed
Was in to it, Dugan, for the want of
