TIMES HUMoRs
THE MAIL MAN

 Time changes And with it customs, And sitting in the game of life Time holds up all his aces, And never seeks to run a bluff Upon the future By standing on a pair of deuces; Which brings to mind the men who Life's battles in those days gone by. l see them now there standing With flowing mane and manner stern With right hand hidden in the bosom, Draped in a long Prince Albert coat, And as they faced the multitude Of cheering mad-men They snatched the stars from out the
 vault
 Of trembling Heavens And waved Old Glory round their
 heads And in loud raucous thunder tones They trifled with emotions That brought man up to tip-toe
 pitch, Loud shouting in wild acclaim. And if one would be congressman He wove spell of eloquence Around your reeling senses He never told you where he stood Upon most vital questions, nor did he
 have to; He hooked you with his fiery talk About the glory of our flag and of our nation. But mans emotions oft will Haunt His colder reason. So oftimes in those old days We found much to our sorrow That he who talked of flags and stuff Would turn out just sorry bluff No later than tomorrow. And so old Time has worked A
 change; To me it seems just passing strange That long we tarried, And now if you'd be constable Or governor or county clerk, You've got to tell folks you will work To make our lives worth living. And as you stand before the throne In short sack coat and sing your
 song, Don't bother then to bring your flag Just point with pride, I'll not say
 brag. But say in voice alluring That taxes must come down For they are past enduring. I miss the men who waved the flag They cheered and thrilled me, And fought my feeble wings to flop In distant clouds: But still today 1t is immense To tread on heels of common sense

 A little boy who pinched his finger in the door uttered a naughty word "a word he had promised to forget and hastened to apologize to his dis mayed mother T dest touldn't help it." he declared q dess it's the after fleets of the war"
 That little hoy was not much better in finding excuses than the rest of us. In way, perhaps. the war is to blame for crime waves, political landslides. pinched fingers and puppy love.
 Isn't it time, however, that we for get our war hysteria? It doesn't help us any, in solving the real prob lems left by the war, to blame that awful conflict for all the absurdities and perversities of so-called human nature
