There s a purse upon the sidewalk, very worn, but very f a t ; There is salt in all the sugar, there s a brick in every hat, But let s believe they 're funny! let us laugh until we burst! Forgetting formal rules again Let's make each other fools again! Just as we used to do on April first. 0. Wisdom needs vacation on a day in early spring Ana Folly is so jolly and she needs must have her fling, And Duty is a dismal word and Dignity's accurst; Let s " hookey" from the schools again And make the teacher fools again! Just as we used to do on April first. Can you recollect, 0 women! can you resurrect, 0 men! The glory and the glamor and the joy of being ten? Can you set your blood a bubble till the years are all im� mersed? 0, come! Before it cools again, Let 8 all of us be fools again! Just as we used to be on April first. G. O. P.
