Show Just Folks By Iy Edgar A. A Guts Guest Radio Sorrows In radio they seldom smile Or Jest or dance or sing The women whimper all the while For lifes life's a tragic thing The men are always running off oft Forsaking faithful wives The children all have whooping cough The measles or the hives My Nellie turns the dial round And lists from nine to noon With interest that is most profound profound profound pro pro- found To Shattered Honeymoon Her Seventh Husband next aho she hears Since sorrow is the style They've run it now for two long years And never once a l smile 1 I IThe The husbands flee to Timbuctoo For which I give no blame If It life Ute were shot with sadness through Im I'm sure Id I'd do the same The brothers and the sisters brawl Grandmothers old and gray Seem full of ot bitterness and gall gallAnd gallAnd gallAnd And snarl the lines they say This life is hard in radio Romance is mostly grief griet Love is allowed at first to glow But oh the glow Is brief I Strange folks return from fearful fearful fearful fear fear- ful pasts New to wreak In radio the sobbing lasts Five days of ot every week Copyright 1943 Edgar A.
