Frank—

A box, at the start,

For sister’s best ribbons; but it would come apart

Till I put some big nails in. They broke it in two,

And I had to stick it together with glue;

And now it don’t look so awfully well.

(Looks at it dolefully.)

Joe—

Put pictures all over it, then you can’t tell

It ever was broken. That’s what I would do.
