The Clown's Baby
People are not always penniless
Because they don't wear coats.
And then, "Three cheers for the babyl"
I tell you those cheers were meant,
And the way that they were given
Was enough to raise the tent.
And then there was sudden silence
And a gruff old miner said,
" Come boys, enough of this rumpus;
It's time it was put to bed."
V
So, looking a little sheepish,
But with faces strangely bright,
The audience, somewhat lingering,
Flocked out into the night.
And the bold-faced leader chuckled,
"He wasn't a bit afraid!
He's as game as he's good-looking!
Boys, that was a show that paid!y>
Margaret Vandergrift.
