It seems a shame to sacrifice . Their lives in such a f way To live in perfect misery, And count each hour, each day Until that glad time cometh When homeward they will go. Once more to dwell in heaven-on- And taste no more of. woe. They never get enough to eat And everything's so high. (Well, they are just determined It's "their money's worth" or DIE!) The thin ones spend' their time on scales And count each little ounce. You'd think there'd been a funeral If their skirts have .one. less flounce Than the one they; wore on yesterday And the scales go down a bit. : They must eat more at dinner time And so make up for it. As for accommodations! It's ittxthing but a sin To ask o much for such a place. Why all their lives they've been Accustomed to the' finest home That- human heart could crave. And they got it all. FOR NOTHING! Just think of what they'd save. If they were nly home again Where everything is right (Of course they Jiave mosquitoes But what's a mosquito's bite Compared to all the other things They have to suffer here?) As far as weather is concerned It's rained about a year. (It never rains a drop at homes And the sun shines every dayr And the coolest little breezes blow From the ocean miles away. The nights may be a trifle warm We must expect a bit Of heat when summer comes. But still One soon gets used to it.) But ah, my friends, the saddest thing I've left until the end. The poor things left their homes, . you know, Without a cent to spend For aught save bare necessities! It really is a shame To rob them leave t them stranded 'here' v. '' . '; -For charity to claim. Their fingers shine 5 with .; diamonds And gems glisten on their" breast. But just how poor they really are You never would have guessea, r Oh, CAN'T we warn them ere they come? w Their sorrows minimize? mg program nas Deen arranged, for have less trouble than the man who ,!
