EVERYDAY STUFF
PIPES
The plpo of peace is heaven sent.
Tho world now puffs and scorns the typo
That wields, to settle argument,
A piece of pipe.
I eyo my pipe and think of spring
So far away and w:sh her nigh.
I miss her m that when I sing
I pipe my eye. '
The pipes of Pan I fa'n would hear:
Tho pip ng bhds of many types
ind but a cynic d'tir, 'tis clear,
Would pan the pipes,
3o let's smoke up! The war Is o'er
And spring Is coming, gentlo folk!
And all the troubled times of yoro
Gono up in smoke!
