I once had a sweet little home, dears, The duckiest home you cpijld wish. . .. / There were porches and cupb'ds and shelves, dears, And a place for each saucepan and dish. But I lost my sweet little home, dears, For an agent came round one day, And he dangled the bait of a price dears, That took my breath right clean away! Now I search all in vain for a home, dears, And answer each subtly-phras'd ad. I've walked to death three pairs of shoes, dears, But I can't find a house like I had. So I live in one room with a screen, dears, Dimensions? —well, not really vast; And I feed upon tinned things, and hope, dears, And longing for days that are past. H.H., in Free Lance.
