Show ! The Rambling Rhymster By LES PLETTNER HUSBAND IN CHURCH At last she got him out to church This man of cheerful sin. She dragged him off from Satan's perch Maneuvered him within. She guided him into a pew, In back of church remote . . . Where he at once omitted to Take off his overcoat. While all were singing of a hymn . . . She made him take it off, Although for reasons dark and dim Her own she did not doff. When time arrived to pass around The regulation plate. His pocketbook could not be found, And soon 'twould be too late. He fished it from his overcoat Two pennies fell" therefrom, The pew seat they resounding smote, Disturbed the tranquil calm. j They sounded, so she later said, Like manhole covers flat . . . Dropped on a concrete pavement dead They sounded just like that. At last 'twas o'er she got him out, He to their home was yanked. Had he been small, without a doubt He would have been well spanked". |
