Shades OF Jupiter, what nave 1
Parted now?
The lady who wrote "Be Careful,
|treet Cars Can't Dodge" and re-
eived five dollars for it from the
Ian Antonio Public Service company,
kemed to. be somewhat peeved be-
iuse / wrote a. few lines in which
stated that street cars some times
1T as though they were not only
Filling. but somewhat anxious to put
h end to my somewhat uneventful
/ sincerely hope that / have not
jured this lady's feelings. Far be
from my wishes to injure anyone,
uch less a lady, whom do not even
much as know. l was only trying
write a little something that might
muse some people who have seen
cse street cars coming directly at
lem and the motorman seemingly
hiking no effort TO stop their speed.
Forgive me, fair lady, l really
can't no harm.
e points at me and says "For
{shame
here did you ever find that name :
HERE is the place upon this earth
at such a name could find its birth
hd then she seq, she seq to me
low lust a moment, let me see)
YES, she says, I'm just as bright
sun is in the dead of night,
G SEE I'd better start to roam
huse l amt got nobody home,
d then she says l am so dumb
els got more sense in her LETT
humb;
think that I don't understand
ere should be safety in the land
tn leap year here, the girls must
save
e men folks from an early grave;
10 Wiener one man is dead,
at means one girl will not be led
to the altar. where they both
st take the binding, solemn oath,
reeing Though it's ne'er been done)
at two can live as cheap as one.
Il then to her I make reply
II SEE to her, / SEE, SEE
eally hope you, don't suppose
try to tread upon your toes,
cailv did not mean offense;
/. where was my recompense!
leally hone YOU won't believe
II / would try to make you grieve,
true, / surely do regret
Ne what / wrete has made you fret,
lpIeasc don't think me obdurate,
you whom congratulate
I am quite glad to admit
"Safety slogan" made a hit,
dollars earned, why that is fine /.
Id /. | too would write a line,
n after that I'd send it in
All, poor me, I'd never win
hi luck as that could ne'er be mine !;
/ can't write single line.
things I write, are all in fun;
not mean them. not n one.
il / laugh at some girls hair
,poke fun at the clothes they wear
even when fuss and scold
ause the flappers are so bold
don't know here their end will be
ause they have no modesty,
need not start up in alarm,
/ don't mean them any harm,.
n to open up their eyes
try 10 make them realize
they don't need their baby stare
Sc men are waiting everywhere
AXE them, though they're meek or
lin,
Ilgh smart, or with an empty
hin,
|pmber. when / write a verse;
4 Indifferent, bad or worse,
not it to abuse
RELY write it to amuse.
e who are sick or blue and sad :.
try to make them once more glad
they can see and think and live;
wing things our God doth give,
can make some folks forget
troubles with which they're be-
can write and make folks smile
ffort isn't it worth while?
/ ever hove, or ever do, offend
ne with my verses, L certainly
like to hear from them.
inch of honest criticism is worth
e of flattery.
seems by them I am beset:
d All. they haven't got me yet.
