THE EPIDEMIC.
It sweeps its devastating course
Throughout the smiling land,
And women feel its direful force
On each and every hand.
When gentle zephyrs stir the air
And balmy spring is here,
The married mains in dispair,
He's filled with grief and fear.
Upon his loved and loving wife
He keeps a watchful ewe;
He knows the epidemic's rife
And will not pass her by.
And well he knows that when at last
She falls into its clutch
His chance of happiness is past—
He won't amount to much,
He'll never get a decent meal,
Nor have a decent bed,
Upon the floor he'll sleep and he'll
Eat dinner in the shed.
Some day the 0.01 that tat he fears
Upreare its horrid brow,
He kitowit she's stricken wbenhe hears
Her Say: "We'll hosnseelean new."
