Show LITTLE LAURA'S LAUREL. H They made a lovely wreath of blossoms sweet H A sorrowing tribute to a greatness lied; H And placed it near that famous Senate seat, HH And thereabouts some soulful tears they shed; And with the blooms a mystic message came H With soft aroma of the roses blent H O will some great magician solve the same: H " 'TIs better to be right than PresI dent." iH Did Philips do the trick, or gome fair maid M Who pondered not the message she had writ; M Or was this message on the oakum laid By some great humorist or village wit? M Egad, mayhap the future will disclose H The secret, and we'll know just what was M meant By that rare' joke the message by the rose: M " 'Tis bettor to bo right than Presi dent." H A. K. N. H |
