Ain't It Fine Todcry?

Sure, this world is full of troubles, I ain't said it ain't.

Lord, I've had enough, and double Reason for complaint;

Rain and storm have come to fret me, Skies are often gray;

Thorns and brambles have beset me

On the road, but say !

Ain't it fine today?

What's the use of always weepin'?

Makin'trouble last

What's the use of always keepin' Thinkin' of the past?

Each must have his tribulationWater with his wine; Life, it ain't no celebration, Trouble. I've had mine-

But today is fine !

-Douglas Malloch

Missing

He tried to cross the railroad track Before the rushing train, They put the pieces in a sack, But couldn't find the brain.

Who's the stranger, Mother dear?

Look! He knows us! Ain't it queer?

Hush, my own, don't tdk so wild, That's your father, dearest child !

That's my father? No such thing!

Father died away last spring.

Father didn't die, you dub!

Father joined a golfing club, But they've closed the club, my own, That is why he's coming home.

Kiss him! He won't bite you, child!

All them golfing guys look wild!

"You are sentenced to hang by the neck until dead."

He said:

"Judge, you're not stringing r€, are you?"

He Switched

Little four-year-old Bobbie was mighty sleepy, but his Mama insisted that he say his prayers anyway. So he knelt at her knee, and started:

"Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep-"

Then the little touscled head dropped on her knee, and he was in the land of Nod. She roused hir.' with a loving shake, and then prompted him:

"If, Bobbie, if-"

And Bobbie, just half awake, went on: -

"If he hollers, let him go, Eenie, meenie, minee, mo."
