The Wit and Humor of America, Volume V. (of X.) 39
By Elliott Flower
AnonymousEnglish
"My Papa is an angel now,"
The little maiden said.
We noted her untroubled brow,
Her gayly nodding head,
And then, of course, we wondered how
She could have been misled.
We felt that she was wrong, and yet
We spoke in accents low,
For life with perils is beset,
And friends oft quickly go.
But she was right; he'd gone in debt
To "back" a burlesque show.
Spotted a mistake or have an idea?
