Resolution and repentance
Do not flood o'er me at all
As I read that nugatory
Counsel written years ago,
Only when one comes to borry[Footnote: Entered under the Pure License of

Do I heed that ancient story:


TELL HIM NO


Mottoes flat and mottoes silly,
Proverbs void of point or wit,
"KEEP A-PLUGGIN' WHEN IT'S HILLY!"
"LIFE'S A TIGER: CONQUER IT!"
Office mottoes make me weary
And of all the bromide bunch
There is only one I seri-
Ously like, and that's the cheery:

GONE TO LUNCH



Metaphysics


A man morose and dull and sad--
Go ask him why he feels so bad.
