IIANNIBAL HIGH SCHCJOL 21 S, O. S. There was an old woman Who ,lived in her shoe, She'd had lots of husbands But thought them too few. A widow, four times And divorced nearly ten, She's still on the market, A chance for you men. She only weighs fifty, Or sixty pounds less Than the steamer Titanic, A tent makes her dress. She is on a diet Her weight now to lose, For sad to relate She can't see her shoes. Her children are countless, They quite fill the shoe, If there come any more The old thing won't do. Now, if some kindly mortal Has an old barn to spare, The good gift would save them Fromrtaking the air. A K. S. KRAZED. El ' A Little Joke! Of all the jokes that I know, And they are one or two, I think I know one, That might interest you. It may take some time For me to tell this clear, But that won't be bad, For it took time for this to appear. Now, if you are interested, I'll give you a little tip. just take a look around iUpon Jake's upper lip. Now, as I said before, And will say once again, I want you to get this clear . Before the story I begin. Jake is a friend of mine, As you all know well, So how this story starts, . I don't think I will tell. As the Prince of VVales has gone And no one to take his place, Jake says, I'll turn the trick, And also set the pace. Jake had a swell idea And now I'1l give you the tipg I-Ie thought he'd start a mustache Upon his upper lip. At first jake was alone, But only for a little while, For of course there were others Who took up the style. This queer style, if you call it that, Has given us lots of fun, For they sure do look funny When it has first begun. Unless you knew jake w-ell And you were standing on nails, You certainly couldn't tell him From the Prince of Wales. -C. J. LONGFELLOW. III The Skunk There's a pretty little animal Of black, with stripes of white, Which you often come upon When wandering around at night. This beast is not so very large, In fact, he is quite small, But bigger beasts, with greater strength, Don't bother him at all. A strolling pair, on a moonlit night, Discussing affairs of the heartg 'When accosted by this little mite, b Right quickly do depart. Now, this little beast, on pleasure bent Seems quite harmless, but his pride Lies in ,covering a man with .awful - scent, ' A mixture of all that has died. . -K. S. K. El Charles- Dad, have you any dried herring? - Mr. Chillson- No, but ,expect some soon. , Charles- Well, when they come, give them a drink.
