LooNEY LIMERICKS Jack Babb of imposing physique Bathed every day in a chrique! Till one day it ran dry, When he said with a sigh: Why the thing musta sprung a bad lique. There was a young band of Sioux Who spent all their money for bioux. They bought ale and cracked ice And thought it was nice But had to go without shioux. Matt, a young man of football physique, Had a heart exceedingly Wique, While he loved Ginnie's curls He was so afraid of girls That he hadn't the courage to spique.

Let me baesarf' Miss Aldred has a mind not opaque Whether she is asleep or awake, For, at quick repartee, Either by night or by dee, She is ready to give and to taque. A The teacher said, Billy, spell yacht. He replied at once, I will nachtj' So his teacher in wrath Took a section of lath And warmed him up well on the spacht. Page 116
