Is This So?
(Dedicated to r. h. b.) ?
What. manage a man? any woman can
For ghe knows just how to do it;
So yield to her rule (or else you're a fool;)
But don't let your neighbors know it.
Men think for a while, her sweet loving smile
Is expressive of fond devotion;
But some of them learn what most no' r dis
cern?
She's plotting- to spring- some pet notion.
it's no use to pout or cast out a "flout"
As every man knows, that's married ;
You may wring and twist, but she'll ne'er
desist
Until her purpose is carried.
(Jo on happy fool, enjoy your " dunce stool" !
Never fret or fume or get "stubby,"
! Don't try to be wise, but see with your eyes
And maybe she'll call you "dear hubby."
Where ignorance is bliss, they say 'tis amiss
And foolish to try to be wise;
Take what's to begot, and feast on the thought
That there's "freedom" beyond the skies.
Clyde.
