Show Rippling I Rhymes - 'A ' CLIMATE. j I travel east, I travel west, to find the smoothest climate; and when at last I've found the best, no doubt, Till deftly rhyme It. I travel north I travel! south, and find the folks complaining; I for here there Is a beastly drouth and there it's ahvays raining. I sir ne down beside the sea to Avrite some! soulful stanzas, and fogs come up and smother mo, and make me yearn Torj Kansas. Upon the mountain's broAv 1 1 sit, nnd view the valleys under, and, then the storm fiend throws a fit, with, hail and sleet and thunder. I ttuverse lends across the foam, from Cork to, Nyanzas; and all things say. "You're1 far from home." and make me sick for J Kansas. And Kansas climate is the, worst that e'er the Lord invented, with ! cold and heal and winds accurst but! there I'm most contented. For there my friends are drilling round, the ."lowest ."low-est and tho kulckest; and where my; dearest friends arc found, the climate: is the slickest I travel up. I travel ' down, to find an earthly heaven, and always sigh for my old town, dimen- sions, five by seven. ' 00 ! |
