CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL
Tuxedo Nights
by Walt Mason
When the day's work's done, and the good old sun
has sunk in the well known West, then I stretch my
form by the fireside warm, I sit at my ease and rest.
Then I take my pipe which is mildly ripe, r.s the p!pes
of good smokers arc, with a chortling soul then 1 fill
its bowl from my glass Tuxedo jar. And I smoke at
ease, and my trouble flees to
the place where dead troubles
go; and my worries seem, in
my waking dream no longer to
have a show. And I say, "In
deed, it's a noble weed that
drives all the ghosts away, and
clamps the lid on the cares
that skid around through the
busy day. The worries and
i i .1 .i
woes and such things as those
in the daytime leave their scar, but there's rest at
night and a calm delight in my
glass Tuxedo jar." 6WW
