POEMS BY CLARA A. MERRILL
THE MISSING LINK
The theory of Darwin
With evidence was bound;
But when the chain was broken
One link could not be found
Connecting Man and Monkey,—
Yet Modern Science shows
Advancement which may nearly
That missing link disclose.
With evidence was bound;
But when the chain was broken
One link could not be found
Connecting Man and Monkey,—
Yet Modern Science shows
Advancement which may nearly
That missing link disclose.
The "Telephonic System"
Has spread near and afar;
Until the Way-Back County
And Town connected are.
Thus, sturdy "country Jamie,"
With hands and cheeks so brown
And heart so true and loyal,
Can call up Reg. in town—
Has spread near and afar;
Until the Way-Back County
And Town connected are.
Thus, sturdy "country Jamie,"
With hands and cheeks so brown
And heart so true and loyal,
Can call up Reg. in town—
"Dude Reggie" with the eyeglass,
And hair in "done up" curls;
With brain so weak he scarcely
Can think of aught but "Girls,"—
And hair in "done up" curls;
With brain so weak he scarcely
Can think of aught but "Girls,"—
