OLD MERGER AND MAYME.
Why did they marry—December and June?
Old Merger and Mayme-out-of-School?
Mayme didn’t care for those ready made frocks—
December was—just an old fool.
NOW SHE’S WAY ABOVE PAR.
Billy Margin, a broker, did wed Ysobel,
Her shape counted most in his eyes,
Now her figure’s no more, and Billy is sore,
For he finds he had bought for a rise!
