Show THE CLIMBERS By Bert Leston Taylor. When Jack and Jill were wedded, they Were seemingly content With what, in a less gilded day, Was called a "tenement." Jack's modest weekly wage was raised From ten to twelve; whereat Ambition's tiny spark upblazed They moved into a "flat." Jack won was marching with the van; No money cares perplexed. Ambition blazed still higher. An "Apartment" housed them next. But this, in turn, was votei slow, Not quite the proper sort, They wanted something better, so Thoy shifted to a "Court." Now, one would think that by this time They'd be content. Somehow They're not, but still are on the climb. They live in "Chambers" now. Puck. |
