REJUVENESCENCE.

D. C.

(An eminent scientist claims that a man can regain his lost youth by the grafting oa of glands from a monkey.) I used to think (I'm ninety-six) l'd reached- senility; But science has contrived to mix A monkey up with me, And now I'm young and sprightly, I go to dances nightly, And trip around as lightly As youths of tw'enty -thr.ee. And oh ! I have a simply wild desire to climb a tree. My movements once were stiff and slow, I hobbled with a stick ; But now, no matter where I go, I am alert and quick. My quiet days are ended, My broken frame is mended. Oh ! Heaven bless this splendid, This^ priceless monkey-tr.ick. (A flapper smiled at me to-day. I'm young enough to "click" !) 1 drink the drinks I want to drink, I eat just what I please, For now, I do not hav.e to think Of dod>ging heart disease. I used to have to diet, My meals were very qniet. But now they're one long riofc Of costly luxuries. Particularly monkey-nut$ — I'm simply m ad on these.
