I'arson Jones was here last night But cut his visit short "Letters that he had to write" Or something of the sort. And when our daughter crossed the room Coming frum the hall, We could feel a cloud of gloom Around us like a pall. From Jeremiah's words he got His Sunday evening text And said lie often wondered what Our women would do next. The neighbors show they've had a shock By their troubled eyes, One sweet spinster, down the block, Has stopped to sympathise. We never drive around the park Until the sun goes down And always wait till after dark For errands to the town. We do not feel a sense of shame It's quite our own affair, Vet things have never been the" same Since Betty bobbed her hair.
