My Evening Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,

Behold, around me bed-bugs creep.

Harrowed husband to barber: Please don’t use that sweet smelling soap on my face.

Barber: Why not, sir; it has a delicate lasting scent.

Harrowed husband: That’s just it; my wife won’t believe it.

* * *

I’VE HAD A LOT OF JOYS ON EARTH;

I DON’T WANT TO BE A HOG.

REINCARNATED—I WANT TO BE

A BATHING BEAUTY’S DOG.

Don’t swell up when someone takes you for a ride. You might be used as ballast.

* * *

A skinny girl in an evening dress, shows more backbone than a man.

* * *

You can string beans and kid gloves, but you can’t bull frogs.
