THE QUIVER THOUGHTS ON RUGBEATING. (After seeing the cover of “The Literary Digest” for March 19.) Say fellers: Did yeh ever on Saturday mornin’ When yeh was goin’ out to play, Have yer mother come yellin’ at yeh, John Henry, you’ve got to beat rugs today? An’ Sis, who thinks she’s a lady, With her clo’s and stuck-up air. Comes preachin’ at the window, Sayin’ “That boy never does his share!” Gee, doncher feel like swearin' An grabbin’ yer bat ’n ball An’ packin’ year choicest blongin’s An' runnin’ away from it all? An’ while yer beatin’ an’ growlin’ An’ bangin’ fer all yer worth, Out comes Ma with another big load An’ says, “Hurry, John, don’t try to shirk! “You know your father this mornin’ Said, you must help me clean house today. An’ I am to keep you a-workin’ So’s you’ll value your next chance to play.” So yeh work all day like a beaver. Not ’cause yeh want to, gosh no! Just ’cause yeh gotta keep at it— There ain’t no chance to go. An’ at last when the sun is settin’, An’ yeh think yeh kin skip out o’ sight,— “Come right back here, young man, an’ Take your bath—this is Saturday night!” MILDRED T. HOYLE, ’21.
