A late last smoke of home mix in a Savinelli 642 Camouflage. Watched a film "Boss Level", and had sardines for Supper. God bless, Mes Amis.
A BACHELOR'S VIEWS.
A pipe, a book,
A cosy nook,
A fire,—at least its embers;
A dog, a glass:—
'Tis thus we pass
Such hours as one remembers.
Who'd wish to wed?
Poor Cupid's dead
These thousand years, I wager.
The modern maid
Is but a jade,
Not worth the time to cage her.
In silken gown
To "take" the town
Her first and last ambition.
What good is she
To you or me
Who have but a "position"?
So let us drink
To her,—but think
Of him who has to keep her;
And*sans*a wife
Let's spend our life
In bachelordom,—it's cheaper.
