NOT THIS MAUD
By THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good evening.

Maud Muller on a summers day
Raked the meadows, so they say.
To her this was only play
Dallying about amid the sweet hay
Todays Maud Muller a September morn
Just, lamps the countrysdes fields OF corn
she toots her siren approaching herd OF cattie
And In her eyes is the fierce light OF battle
She rakes no meadows oh dear no!
Neither does she spin neither does she sew
She might idly pluck few garden flowers,
But in such pursuits spends very few hours
Maud Muller on a September day
Rakes no meadows sweet with hay.
She's no back to- the-land girl screwy,
And as for such things Maude Muller says phooey!
