Show The Ballad of the Rail. The efforts of the railroads to forbid kissing at the depots have been unsuccessful. Railroad Report. Now by the lips of those ye love, fair gentlemen, be brave, And damned be he eternally, the piteous railroad knave! Go, leave the Summer widower his single tie to life And ere he watch the engine start, 'tis his to kiss his wife. And if the damsel or the frau be not his own, indeed, 'Tis not for heartless railroad men to ask for marriage mar-riage screed. So shout ye for your privilege, the ripe red lips of her Who of created womanhood you happen to prefer! 'Tis not for corporations to dally with your loves, And schedule time and coupon clips go ill with darts and doves. So glory to the gallant men who flung the fiat down." Kiss! Kiss! and straightway kiss again, and spurn the railroad frown. New York Telegraph. |
