All to Myself

All to myself I think of you—

Think of the things we used to do,

Think of the things we used to say,

Think of each happy yesterday;

Sometimes I sigh and sometimes I smile,

But I keep each olden, golden while

All to myself.

—W. D. N.


Pasture Pot Pourri

Brevity is the sole of wit, and the sole charm of a maiden’s skirt.

* * *

It’s the first straw hat which shows how the wind blows.

* * *

I suppose the maid does all the hard work?

No, my wife still makes the biscuits.

* * *

“Do you like music?”

“Yep.”

“Then listen to the band around my hat.”

* * *

If you want to see something swell, put a sponge in water.

* * *

Did you ever catch your wife flirting?

Yes, that’s the way I caught her.

* * *

If you were with me in my new Cadillac

On a road with no trolley about it,

A long way from town, would you start to walk back?

Maybe you would—but I doubt it.

* * *

While we live, let’s live in clover,

For when we’re dead, we’re dead all over.
