IN THE TIME OF ROSES
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

In the time of roses, In the June time of the year. Mothers get all Jagged out, So it would appear, Fitting Master Tommy To his first long pants, Getting advice on the side From his uncles and aunts. In the time of roses, Plighted are many troths The humble bees are buzzing And fit many night moths Hot days fond mothers Squeeze lemons by the dozens For the youngsters sidewalk stands For all the neighbors and their cousins In the time of roses When horses are fleet on the tracks, Mothers grow awfully weary Shopping for shorts and sacks

widely known sculptress whose
monument of the feminist move
ment originators rests in the Ma
