Wuz parchin' corn fer the Raggedy Man!

     Better

    say

    "Clear out o' the way!

    They's time fer work, an' time fer play!

    Take the hint, an' run, Child; run!

    Er we cain't git no

     courtin

    ' done!"

    Says John last night:

    "William, by grab! I'm beat

    To know why stolen kisses

    Taste so sweet."

    Says William: "Sho!

    That's easily explained—

    It's 'cause they're

     syrup

    -

    titiously obtained."

    O cruel thought!
