GORR1E
Time following poem was copied
from a recent number of the junior
Red Cross Gazette, and is from the
pen of "Slim", the editor.
A WOMAN
She's an ang,e1 in truth, a demon in
fiction
A woman's the greatest of all con-
tradiction;
She's afraid of a cockroaeh, she'll
jump at a mouse,
But she'll tackle a husband as big
as a house.
She'll take him for better, She'll take
him for worse,
She'll split his head open, and then
be his nurse;
And when he's well and can get out
out of bed,
She'll pick up a tea pot. and throw
at his head.
She's faithful, deceitful, keen-sighted
and blind,
She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel,
she's kind;
She'll lift a man up; she'll throw a
man down;
She'll make him her hero, her ruler,
her clown.
You fancy she's this, but you'll find
she's that,
For she'll play like a kitten and
fight like a cat,
In the morning she will, in the even-
ing she won't;
And you're always expecting she
will when she won't.
