but If we have, and the shoe fits, put it
on. We have here made up a little
rhyme, which we are sending In:
I've noticed when a fellow dies, no
uiaiwr wuaii un a Deen, a sa'miy coap
or one whose life was darkly steeped in
sin bis friends forget the bitter words
they spoke but yesterday, and now they
find a multitude of pretty things to say.
I fancy when I go to rest someone will
bring to light, some kindly word or
goodly act long buried out of sight.
But if it's all the same to you. just give
to me instead the bouquets while I'm
living and the knocking when I'm dead.
It may be fine when one is dead, to
haye the folks talk so; to have the
flowers come io loads from relatives you
know: it may be nice to bavo these
things for those you leave behind but
just as far as I'm concerned, I really do
not mind. I'm quite alive and well to
day, and while I linger here. Lond me
a helping hand at tira.i, g've me a
word of cheer. Just Chan; the game
a little bit: just kindly swap ine decks.
For I will bi no judg of ti iw.ts when
I've cashed in my cheeks.
