More Truth Than Poetry
By James j. Montague
THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE

With avid eagerness agog
I often feast my eyes
Upon a little catalogue
Entitled Zoo Supplies
simple book which simply states,
With little waste of words,
The latest and prevailing rates
For reptiles, beasts and girls.
The elephants and yaks come high,
AS do the apes and gnus,
The larger hippopotami,
The auks and kangaroos-
And this has led me to depend,
For rates are low for verse,
And all of these are far beyond
The limits of my purse.
Yet as 1 run the pages through
Collecting all the dope,
little item comes in view
Which fills my soul with hope
l cannot buy dear gazelle
In my existing pinch,
But serpents, l discover sell
For fifty cents an inch.
And if I save my ever cent,
Avoid the soda bars
And school myself to be content
With two-for-five cigars
Although I'm what the world calls poor,
And scanty wages make,
l may be able to procure
