What’s become of Coue?
What price suggestion now?
Has it perhaps gone f looey?
Or is it still a wow?
Do his disciples, steadfast, pray
Every day in every tvay,
Or have they turned to beauty clay?
And what of Tut-enk-hamen,
Whose name you may recall?
The papers I examine,
But find no news at all. <>'
The king is dead; and moth and rust *
Corrupt his treasures; housewives must
Use King Tut waists to clean and dust.
Such fame as Tut-enk-hamen s
Like autumn leaves must fall;
Today who eats vilamines?
Who murdered Doctor Hall?
Yet, though all else time's laws obey,
One item's fresh from day to day—
They tell us Peace is on the way.
