OTHER FADS
In Gramma’s day they walked the line And wore long petticoats,
And such a crime it was to see
If a bit of one stuck out.
You never knew a girl had legs
For skirts all swept the ground,
They all stood proper, straight and prim With the opposite sex around,
But sometimes there would be a girl Who longed to jump and shout,
But she was one who ruined her life And the one they talked about,
But now I wonder what they thought, Beneath that bosom prim,
For they’d been taught from cradle up That all happiness was sin,
I wonder what they’d say today,
If they’d come back and see;
The girls and fellows pitching woo — With the skirts above the knees, They’d nudge each other and they’d stand, In groups so horrified;
But in their hearts they’d likely think What a shame that they had died.
Mrs. V. Eisenhauer, Chester Basin, NS.
