MRS. MURPHY’S PURCHASE

Mrs. Murphy was on purchasing bent,

So she hied to “The Great Big Store.”

She gazed around, then finally went

Towards a fellow just six-feet-four,

A floor-walk man with legs that curved

Till they looked like a mystic O.

“He’d never be catching a hog,” she averred,

“Nor shine at a greased pig show!”

This much to herself—then she said to “that gint”
