She left him in the autumn, when all the thigns were dead, And now she came in springtime and finds that he has wed. She called him fool and coward, 'twus a funny thing to do, For was not she the same one who last year he came to woo? Before you leave this garden, you shall be slain by mine own knife! And they fought togetherg you bet it XVEIS some strife! She soon emerged victorious, anyone would have known that, 'Cause had she not the eyes and fingernails of a cat? l'pon thc wayside hillside, his grave can still be seen, And once in every two years this maid comes there to lean. -KLU KLAIX. FOOLISHNESS. He is long and lean, and rough, XVhen he speaks his voice sounds tough, llis shoulders are bowed like trees in the winds, He looks ferocious whenever he grins. His shoes which are numbered seventeen, lVere worn out on the village green, His knees knock together whenever he runs, Ile looks like half a dozen bums. The frogs in the pond are more graceful than he, In the morning he starts out on an all-day spree. XYhcn midnight comes he homeward turns, And roams about while the kerosene burns. XVhen he dies and to the morgue is taken, He cannot look more forsaken, And when in his coffin as a corpse he will lay, They will rest his head on a pillow of hay. -HUGH XVALLACE.
