A BOY’S REMARKS TO HIS STOMACH.
An anonymous contributor sends the following:— . What’s the matter with you—ain't I always been your friend? Ain’t I been a pardnor to you? All my pennies don’t I spend In getting nice things for you? Don’t I give you lots of cake? Say, stummiek, ghat’s the matter, that you had to go and ache? Why, I loaded you with good things
yesterday. I gave you more Potatoes, squash, and turkey than you’d ever had before! I gave you nuts and candy, pumpkin pie, and chocolate cake And last night, when I got to bed you had to go and ache! Say, what’s the matter with you? Ain’t you satisfied at all?
I gave you all you -wanted; you was hard just like a ball; And you couldn’t hold another bit
of puddin’, yet last night You ached most awful, stummiek; that ain’t treating me just right! I’ve been a friend to you, I have; why ain’t you a friend of mine? They gave me castor oil last night
because you made me whine. I’m awful sick this mornin’, and I’m feelin’ mighty blue, Becoz you don’t appreciate the things I do for you!
