Industrious name.

Once it was not quite the same.

A different fame,

A “Crazy Quilt,”

Same foolish dame

Entitled you.

It was sorry fame.

Life is like that,

We do not see

How little bits

Make harmony—

It’s up to man to take each bit

Of happiness and make it fit.

But if he takes and doesn’t dwell

Upon the pattern—Well, it’s Hell!

A crazy quilt the name’s O. K.

But start a patchwork quilt today.
