Show THEN AND NOW. It makes me laugh to hearvthe people say Times ain't like what tliey used to be at all; That they can easily enough recall When folks could earn a higher rate of pay, And thus lay up more for a rainy day. The weather then. comes in and gets a whack; 'The winters that we're having now, by jo! Ain't nothing liko wo had some years ago, In '05," or maybe further 'back. And there is nothing just tho same, croak they, AS once it was in that old bygone day. But when I ask thorn if they'd like to see The old days hero ahd now, they look at me And shrug, and haven't got a word o say. Joe Cone, in New York Sun. |
