MARY
Mary raised a flock of lambs
To get some pocket money,
She raised them very carefully.
For each was a honey.
She shipped her pets to market
And routed them all rail.
Then made a little budget
For the proceeds of the sale.
She bought a new Ford motor car
A swell new gown and hat,
And paid for each a dollar down.
A wise little maid at that.
A letter came to her one day,
Her smile changed to a frown;
And Mary saw that she had been
trimmed
A nice dark shade of brown.
No check was in the envelope:
It was no billet doux.
But just a railroad freight bill
Showing undercharges due.
The sheriff took the motor car.
Also the gown and hat.
Which left poor Mary in the raw,
A sightly maid at that,
Then Mary smiled a sickly smile,
And then a check she wrote,
For though I shipped a car of
sheep,
I guess I am the goat.

Doctor: (to dog bitten patient)
“You have hydrophodia—fatal
you know.”
Patient; “Give me a pencil and
paper.”
Nurse; “Shall I call a lawyer
to assist in making your will?”
Patient; “Will nothing, I am
making up a list of people I want
to bite.”

Oh, let us fill our hearts with

And banish every doubt and care
away;
For the world is full of roses, and
the rose is full of dew.
And the rose is full of heavenlv
love that drips from me to
you.
—James Whitcome Riley.
