By The sweetest words that e'er outclassed the song of birds! How they allay the widow's fears and dry the orphans briny tears. When sad and tired and short of kale, a letter comes by morning mail; like other letters it appears, with postage stamps and inky smears. "No doubt," we sigh "it's a dun; some frantic gent is after mon. These beastly bills we cannot pay, take all the sunshine from the day and make us wish that we were dead, with stacks of granite overhead." And then with languid hands we tear the envelope to see what's there and out there comes a note by heck, with these brave words, "Inclosed find check." Ah then we bid farewell to woe and like nine Bramah roosters crow, and to the soft drink joint repair, and buy a quan of soap suds there. The sun once more is cutting hay, the gloomy clouds are blown away, the world is glad that was a wreck, changed by the words, Inclosed find check."
