DEFINITION OF LOVE.
In response to a request for her defi
nition of love, Miss Popsie McSwat, of
Lost Creek, kindly replies:
And what is love? It is a thrill
That percolates throughout your breast
And sweetly tickles you until
You’re in a state of wild unrest!
It is an effervescing sense
Of sparkling rapture; sort of fizz
Of heavenly nectar so' intense
It makes you drunk with bliss! It is
A sweet phantasmagorian dream
That comes upon you while awake
And monkeys with you till you seem
With pent-up bliss to fairly ache!
And that is love; at least that be
The way it always works on me!
THEIR PROPER SPHERES.
The rain and the hen have their proper
spheres
As everything earthly must;
And whereas a hen can lay an egg,
It takes the rain to 1 lay the dust.
