RECREATION, 



xxvu 



AN ADVENTURE. 



Three smart young men and three nice girls 



All lovers true as steel — 

 Decided, in a friendly way, 



To spend the day a-wheel. 

 They started in the early morn, 



And nothing seemed amiss; 

 And when they reached the leafy lanes 



They in like 



Rode 



in 



twos 



this! 



They wandered by the verdant dale, 



Beside the rippling rill ; 

 The sun shone brightly all the while; 



They heard the song bird's trill. 

 They sped through many a woodland 



glade, 

 And when they rested in the shade 



Theysat intwos likethis ; 



The sun went down and evening came, 



A lot too soon, they said : 

 Too long they tarried on the way, 

 The clouds grew black o'erhead. 

 Down dashed the rain ; they homeward flew 



Till one unlucky miss 

 Slipped sidewise — Crash ! Great Scott ! 

 Weareallmixeduplikethis ! 



— California Curio. 



Warwick — Why is it there are no real 

 skyscrapers in London? 



Wickvvire — There is no sky.
