RENT
Rent is what the
poet had in mind
when he wrote
them immortal
lines about Fall
ing Dew—only he
spelled it wrong.
The word rent
also means, in one
sense, hole, which is
what the average
householder finds
himself in about the
time the other kiud
comes due. In this re
spect the Arabs are a
lucky race because they carry
their places of abode around with
them and when they weary of
scenery in one spot they move on
to another.
A m ar K hay am had this to say
on the subject—although we aro
not certain that he said it: ]
“Comes now tho pesky landlord
for his rent,
And I, uzlueky gink, ain’t got a
cent;
The only way, it seems, to beat
this game,
Is take the doorbell off, or buy a
tent.”
However, any one who is fa
miliar with Mister Ivhayam’s
views of life will readily under
stand the reason for his hard-
u ppishness.
In conclusion let us observe,
that lent used to bo what a feller
had left after paying tho grocery
bill, But even that day has passed
now.
Correct this sentence: “Willie is
a lucky hoy” said (he mother,
“and 1 never am uneasy when he
is down at the swimming pool.”
The question is what soit of
chaperons thp present flappers will
make when they grow up, thinks
Bill.
“This is making a long story
short,” said the kid as he slid down
the bannister.
A lot of people don’t find out
that they were disappointed iu
love until after they are married.
Wo know a girl who was so
dumb she though “This Freedom”
was a book written by a flapper
on the Corse Hess Ago.
Bill thinks eyery girl should
take exercise enough to enable
her to carry her earrings without
stooping. '•
This Hebe Joe Of Writing Hum
orous Stuff Is Really Serious
Life Is Hard For The Judge
The judge lias, got a. lot
tact;
He warms the bench and smiles
Quite irregardlt»ss of the fact
His life’s made.up of trials.
A shaVk is a big fish, says Bill.
So are men who think they are
sharks.
Moving pictures by rad ip will
be great. You won’t need to tune
in until the fourth-assistant di
rector is introduced.
They tell us that all the world
Ums a lover, but Bill says that
doesn’t make it any easier to go
and speak to her father.
I can’t ke^p this up much long
er, said the frail strap on the
evening gown.
The millionaire pays ransome
to get back some thing, says Bill
one! pays alimony to get lid (f
others.
Ashes to ashes
Dust to mud;
This poem doesn’t, say
What you thought it would
The Hotel bill, the railroad Faro
and the Bill of Fare make home
look pretty good to the returned
vacationist.
All of us can romember when
gasoline was only used to tak«
spots out of our clothes.
Papa 'a tickled pink when the
baby’s first tooth comes, and he is
tickled the same color when his
own last tooth is gone. j
