Some Old Standbys , .
A paean of praise I would warble
To some dear old standbys I have read.
They loom as if chiseled in marble ,
Arise like a voice from the dead.
Admitting , perhaps , that they're hoary
With age and need hair cut and shave ,
Their memory's possessed of a fragrance
I will not lose this side of the grave.
"The angel of death spread it's wings"
Now , there's an old timer , I ween.
And also "The bride looked so sweet
In a gown of dark brown velveteen ; "
"A pleasant reception was tendered ; "
"All voted they had a good time ; "
"A beautiful solo was rendered ; "
"He committed a dastardly crime ; "
"Where he fell there were thick clots of blood ; "
"The chair rapped for order at ten : "
"He dropped with a dull , sick'ning thud ; "
"We hope he will soon call again ; "
"The fire fiend shot huge tongues of flame ; "
"Jim Offerman Sunday ed in town ; "
"The groom wore conventional black ; "
% 'Friends and neighbors surprised Mary
Brown ; "
"Then Smith , in few well chosen words ,
As follows substantially spoke ; "
. "When the inmates were ruthlessly wakened
The rooms were found chock full of
\f \
smoke ; "
"From the Billvillc Recorder we learn
h * That a'bountiful repast was served
With edibles fit for the gods ; "
The prisoner seemed wholly unnerved. "
I scan all the city newspapers
Wherever I may chance to roam ,
But when I want infinite pleasure
I read the old weekly from home.
