To Jeannie
Come, let me take thee to my breast, And pledge me ne'er shall sunder; And I shall spurn, as vilest dust The world's wealth and grandeur.
And do I hear my Jeannie own That equal transports move her? I ask for dearest life, alone, That I may live to love her.
Thus in my arms wi' al thy charms I clasp my countless treasure; I'll seek nae mair o' heaven to share Than six a moment's pleasure.
And by thy een sae bonnie blue I swear I'm thine forever; And on thy lips f seal my vow, And break it shall I never.
-Robert Burns.
YES, WHAT?
Lady of the House: "Why don't you get a job? Don't you know a rolling stone gathers no moss?"
Tramp: "Madam, not to evade your question at all but merely to obtain information, ma1r I ask of what practical utility is moss to a man in my condition?"
Books
Books are the open avenues down which, like kings coming to be crowned, great ideas and inspirations move to the abbey of man's soul. There are some people still left who understand perfectly what Fenelon meant when he said: '"If the crowns of all the kingdoms of the empire were laid down at my feet in exchange for my books and my love of reading, I would spurn them all."-Ernest Dressel North.
The Difference
This age is not more wicked than the one of our fathers-the only difference is that we do not pull down the shades.
Either Way
"Did you have a nice time at the party?"
"Yes. And I had a nice party at the time."
Awaiting Your Reply
He who can't pay at least can say, "Dear Sir: I got your bill today. Though I allow I can't pay now, I hope to pay it soon, somehow. Don't think (I've not) that I've forgot, But lately I have lost a lot. I want you, though, this much to knowI'll pay you every cent I owe."
You may not think that's worth the ink, But when your credit's on the blink, Although it still won't pay the bill, It helps you more than silence will. For Dick or Dan say "There's a man We know will pay us when he can; Like all good men-and we'll know then That we can trust that man again."
Poetic License
An editor received a little poem from a lady, which she wanted published. It was entitled, "f wonder if you miss rrie?" After reading it over the editor returned it to the author with this note:
"Dear Madam: If he does, he should never be trusted with firearms again."
Heathens
"A heathen country," says the Brooklyn Eagle, "is one where a payroll can be delivered without an armored car."
Life
Life is but a garment. When it's dirty, brush it; when it is torn, mend it; make it last as long and as good as you can.-Tagore.
