A Ballplayer’s Day

He listened to his WAXAPHONE,
Then lay—ending his day so rough—
Upon a mattress widely known.

But, at the price, I’ve said enough.


Ever See Her?
There was a little fluff,
And she wore a little puff
And a rat made of shoddy and of cotton.
When they were there
She looked very, very fair,
And when they were off she looked rotten.
