PHRASEOLOGY. 
In painfulness, the words are set: 
To plant a dagger in the breast. 
For pity, the words for food: 
Tender as a chicken; the melting mood. 
To plan, when we are very live: 
To have many irons in the fire. 
Oldness: nothing new under the sun; 
As old as the hills; many times done. 
Opening, this is for you: 
To cut a passage through 
Opposition, let us see: 
In spite of one’s teeth. 
And what about ornament, serene: 
Fine as a May-day queen. 
Occasion: in the nick of time; 
Now or never; in the fullness of time. 
Such are some words of phraseology. 
Which are literary words of psychology. 
They are used in fiction, art, and history, 
And many times spoken at liberty. 
Without them many writers are lost, 
For, to them, they are high cost. 
Hence, in the name of Kaiser: 
A scrap of paper—phrase admirer ! 
SA i 
JUST A LITTLE FOR-GET-ME-NOT. 
Here is my picture for Ruby, 
One not seen in the movie; 
For, not being a photo of fame, 
It has no acting, screen name. 
Nevertheless, it is one for you to see 
A picture with you may always be. 
And, when you become an elderly lady, 
You may think of it as your dear baby, 
One who used to fly kites and play. 
Run, ask questions in a youthful way. 
Hence, let it be eternal, virtuous youth, 
A picture to stand the test of baby truth. 
Here you see my mouth, eyes, and nose, 
All in a characteristic “Paty” pose; 
Tenderness, love, pity, and easy ways 
Being pictured in my childhood days. 
Thus, let it be caressing, heavenly kind, 
A fairy or angel of your sweet mind.
