POETS' RENDEZVOUS THE AWFUL TRUTH They lay cool hands on your head, you say? The time I got out of bed The hand they laid on me was hot And it wasnlt laid on my head. Their voices are soothing and soft, oh yes! Well, brother I disagree. HTurn your radio off and put out your lightlt Dorft sound so good to me. Their smiles are sweet and warm, some stuff That isnit on the square Cause some of the smiles they turn on me Come out of the frigidaire. Theyire ready and willing to help you along With a temperature, nap or pill But just ask for something that you really want You can yell and yell till youlre ill. Angels of Mercy that answer your call I read that some place once before But I know the dope, so I don,t believe What I read in the books any more. Maybe Pm spoiled and fussy and et cetera And a little temperamental So any resemblance to Gallinger Nurses Is purely coincidental. THE EDITOR'S J'OB Getting out this book is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly. If we don,t, they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other magazines, We are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we dorft, we are stuck with our own stuff. If we don,t print every word of all contributions, We donlt appreciate true genius. If we do print them, the columns are filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fellow,s writeup, We are too critical. If we donlt, we are blamed for poor editing. Now, like as not, some guy will say y We swiped this from some other sheet. WE DID! - - - - Dorothy Elliot C. C. Ward NURSE The devil full of evil glee, With all his devilish ease, For mankind brewed a potion And labeled it disease. Then out of the depths of his hatred And out of his deep disdain, He mixed a wicked powder And this he labeled pain. Then God made a lovely creature To counteract the curse And when he had her finished He simply called her nurse. Clement Lockwood 4'7
