LEEDLE YAWCOB STRAUSS
He get der measles und der murnbs und eferyding dot’s

He shills mine glass of lager beer, poots schnuff into mine

He fills mine pipe mit limberg cheese—dot vas the rough

I ’dd ak ed ot vrom no oder poy but Leedle Yawcob

I somedimes dink 1 shall go vild mit sooch a grazy poy;
Uud vish vonce more I gould haf rest und peaceful dimes

But ven he vas ashleep in ped so quiet as a mouse,
I prays der Lord, “ Dake anydings but leaf dot Yawcob

OUR CAT
VYe have a cat
At our house—
H e’s black with
White whiskers and
H e’s more trouble
To me than a
Hangful of hangnails
Would be to
Paderewski. He
And his tail
Are always just
Where i set my
Fooot down. Our
Hallway is kind
Of dark at night
And this cat
Is the original
Camouflage in
The hallway, and
I always fall over
Him. At night
He doesn’t want
To go out until
I ’m in bed about
Fifteen minutes, then
He sets up a squawk.
Of course I have
To get up from
The huiks and
Let him out-
I wish I were
An "Eskimo. They
Have it pretv easy
Wh on it comes to
Putting, the cat
Out for the
n
Night—six months.
