Show LITTLE, BEN NY'S Note Boom By LEE PAPE LIFE ON MARS I have heard a learned professor say that Mars has living folks, while another an-other gifted gueeser hailed his arguments argu-ments as pokes. And they fussed around and wrangled like a pair of lo-1 coed cats, and they got their win s all tangled, and grew sore beneath their I hats. Some indorsed the learned professor, pro-fessor, held as gospel his belief, some 1 stood up for t'other gucsser, helping J him to yawp and beef. And the row became a riot, so the whole bunch went lo jail, where they had a frugal diet Chat was void of toast on quail. You may climb the highest steeple with a telescope in hand, and vou cannot tell if people drill around on Martian land. There's no earthly way of proving if inhabitants are there, so your arguments: argu-ments: though moving, are but pitfle and hot air. So we waste the moments precious, chewing rags the livelong day, letting habits vain enmesh us. when we should be baling hay. Whether Wheth-er Mars has people on it. I protest, we'll never learn; but this world of ours, doggone it, has inhabitants to burn; here they are, where Nature j thing them, on a prehistoric day, and 'our work is here among them, not a I billion leagues away. |
