AN EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS
At a tavern one night
Messrs More, Strange, and Wright
Met, good cheer and good thoughts to exchange.
Says More, “Of us three
The whole town will agree
There is only one knave, and that’s Strange!”
“Yes,” says Strange, rather sore,
“I’m sure there’s one More,
A most terrible knave, and a bite,
Who cheated his mother,
His sister, and brother.”
“Oh yes,” replied More, “that is Wright!”
ΗΚΙΣΤΑ ΛΙΨ
HE KISSED HER LIPS
(According to the daily Press, a good old-fashioned kiss lately lost favour in some quarters.)
Though a billiard player’s miss
Cannot meet or make a kiss;
Though a modern school of misses
Be not in the cue for kisses;
Chloe’s lips are not amiss,
Kismet! I have met a kiss.
