The guy who first dreamed carpets up
Never had to beat ’em;
And he who thought up breakfast foods
Never had to eat ’em;
The lass that cooked the girdle up
Herself is unconfined;
The Editor of “Parents” has
Kids that never mind;
The chap who first made dishes bloom
Made the Mrs. dry ’em;
He who invented auto tires
Wishes he could buy ’em;
The Principal of Business School College
Cannot write a letter;
He who started jig-saw puzzles
Can play checkers better;
The gal who started cooking schools
Lunches from a can;
And even Dorothy Dix today
Cannot catch a man;
No lecturer I ever heard
Could tell his wife a thing;
And Frank Sinatra in his home
Is not allowed to sing;
The weatherman predicted “fair”–
But he himself won’t heed it;
So WHAT, if I write stuff like this?–
I don’t have to read it!
All written 4-1-44, before
going to work…
