Rambling Retail Rhymes

Wood or Home?

When you start down the street

On the way to your home,

And the work of the day has been finished.

Will .the things that you aee

Give you sorrow or glee?

Will your pride be increased or diminished?

You look acrosa the street

At a bungalow neat,

It is one of the latest in town;

And you can remember

That day in September

When the man made his first payment down.

You can see the young wife

With the "pride'of her life"

In her arms looking proudly around, While the father is mowing

The lawn, and then sowing, All sorts of sweet fowers in the ground.

Do you think as you glance

At that place, of the chance

That was yours when you bid on the bill?

Do you think of the pleasure

You give in such measure?

Is your heart fastened up in your till?

Do you say, "I'm the guy

That he came to, to b,ty-

I'm the fellow who sold him the WOODI"

Or do you cry loudly-

Sincerely and proudly-

"l built them a HOME-and it's GOOD."

Bossy

Build a home around your bossy; Give her something new and fossy; 'lWarm in winter<ool in EummerClean and neat.

And your gentle little Jersey

ITill repay you for your mercy, With an extra pail of milk

So rich and sweet.

She's a valuable producer,

So be careful how you use her.

It's a crime to leave her hitched up

To a mow

It's not enough to stable her

If you want to enable her

To do her fullest duty

As a cow.

She's an item quite expensive, Uttle cow with eyes so pendiv*

And it makes me want to weep

Instead of laugh.

When I see the helter-skelter, Knockdown, lean-to, sort of shelter

That so often covers bossy

And her calf.
