So, the Dutch are fearful of

are balloons, coated with phos-
phorescent colors. Rather pretty.
But above them drumming mo-

Whose? On a back road near Till

being released from an automobile

although the Dutch fired. For in

Instead this year has brought melowness that lies
Within the brunette beauty of your sympathetic eyes.

This vanished year that introduced loneliness to

DOUBTFUL SPRING

They say it's spring
But hardly a thing
Would make you think,
Unless it's the bright pink
And very light blues
And lovely pastel hueS
That have their fling
When it's spring!
They say it's spring
But it doesn't mean a thing,
And you will note
An occasional fur coat
With a light straw hat
Very tricky at that
With a flower or a wing,
When it's spring!
They say it's spring
But hardly a thing
Suggests the season
So that's the reason
We rant so much
OF birds and such
And this and that thing
When it's spring!
