HOW TO LIVE IN A BOTTLE
IBv WHIM WHAM) Beer bottles should be shaped like bricks and the ’'empties'’ used tor building houses. . . . The bottles carried too low a refund prlee. . . . the grave danger of bottles on roads.—Whangarel report on ~t meeting of the Northland College Board of Governors. A beer Bottle, A mere Bottle, When emptied of its Ale,' Is a bad Bottle, A sad Bottle, A Bottle of no Avail. A sunk Bottle, A drunk Bottle, With never a Drop inside, Is a lost Bottle. A tossed Bottle, A bottle that’s up and died. And a round Bottle, Uncrowned Bottle, Upon the Highway thrown Is a sinful Bottle, A skinfull Bottle, A Bottle I would not own. —But a square Bottle, A fair Bottle, A Bottle that’s like a Brick Is the new Bottle, The true Bottle For Tom and Harry and Dick: A nice Bottle (At the Price, Bottle) For building your own House: The stored Bottle, Once-poured Bottle, By Jokers who carouse, The dream Bottle Would seem. Bottle In which our Troubles end; But WHAT Bottle Is not? Bottle, Be thou my Brick, my Friend, My Roof, Bottle, Rain-proof Bottle— Alas, what Rubbish I rhyme! A square Bottle Is a rare Bottle, And One’s quite enough at ■ Time!
