Show Vol. II EtonianPage 1993 JSeau out of toton to$. no peau at allIt's awfully good to get letters of loveFrom one in a far away clime, And it's nice, it is true, to know sweet thoughts of youAre in somebody's heart all the time. And while it is true that bird in the handIs always worth two in the bush, Still I think that the game is a little too tame,And I'd rather be out in the push. For its all well and good to do just as you shouldFor fear of the absent one's frown, And just sit in state and patiently wait Till he pleases to come back to town. But its rather unfair to expect her to careFor a love expressed only in lead, Or to get all her bliss from a little ink kiss, When she might have a real one instead. If the fellows you meet when you 're out on the streetGive a wink and you're free to> wink back, It may not be nice, but it still has a spiceWhich the other side certainly lack. And while folks are inclined to frown dowTn as unkindThe flirt, be she fair, dark or tall, Still, in the long run she gets the most fun,So it's best to have no beau at all. - S. L. H.Count that boy lost Who, having known the bliss, Has fled to other towns, "With other girls to kiss; For knowing once the joy He'll press others to his breast As surely as your head On other shirt fronts rest.-S.
