"The Campus Echo" ORIGINAL POETRY The Modern Psalm for Married Men 1- "My v/ife is ray boss I cannot deny it" 2. "She maketh me lie under the house when sv;ell company cometh, she leadeth me behind her up main street." 3. "She restoreth my purse after she hath spent all of its belong ings for elaborate evening gowns and theater tickets. She leadeth me up the main aisle of the church for her new dresii'-s sake." 4. "Yea though I Vi'alk m*ore than half the night through dark rooms with a crying baby in my arms, there is no lady is behind me with a broomstick and thing but comfort me." 5. "She prepares a cold snack for me, then she makes a bee line for the dance hall or card party. She annointeth my head with a roll ing pin. My arms ri.inneth over with bundles before she is half ii rest for me, for the old hat pin, they do every- through shopping. 6. "Surely her dressm.akors bills will follow me, all the days life and I shall dwell in the house v/ith my wife forever." 01 my A SOLILOQUY The balmy breezes begin to blow, And thoughts out of infinity To my mind doth flow, Viiith the calmncss of a do.re And I wonder why God in all of his mercy, Created the thing called love '.hy did he make such a thing as parting? And why to my mind, Come thoughts cut of infj.nity, Flaming with the subtle sweetness of the dove, Hnd why do I think of parting, Is there any one here, I love And why do I try to delve, Into the phatomless dephts of the heart of another, My fate therein to re,ad. And why must I even bother, When death oftimes our sadness ends, And allov/s us ir. heaven, to find true friends. • The answer to these questions are very clear Since nothing in earth, could over be fair. So banish all fears and sorrows, all care, And soar always upward, in God's beautiful air. From.’your life, subtract your sorrows. 12 Your he .'.rtaches and cares, and try to remember, The worlds not unfair!' -Frank E, Parker TACT We often make such great mist.'.kes, in our line of conversation. The very impression that needs no expres sion, Pops out without hesitation. Vie don’t realize what harm there lies, in'one insignificant state- m.ent, It has often been to our chagrin a case v/hich caused us to lament/ The person who lacks a great deal of tact. Has vr.ry fev/ friends if any; Eut the one whose vocation is hand].ing any situation. Is the person admared by many. iis a matter of fact. Possessing tact does not indicate we inherit it. If we desire it and try to acquire it, V»e can rest assured that ’"e merit it. The ability to talk and never find fault, Is one of lifes greatest treas ures , Never be content, if you can’t Lftnt gj vinrr .nffftri.gp. i n thp
