WfeE ENDING Skit. 25, 1915 PICTURES POEMS No. 5. THE NEW DOORMAN. V.-INCE Bob l;ur burly doorman) has k became a gallant war-man, Our chief engaged a female, just to try her; She shouted like a sergeant, so with buttons gold and argent, He dressed her in conspicuous attire. She promised that she'd try to give the highest satisfaction, And soon became the paramount attraction. When first I heard her shout I'd have vowed that some one out Had fallen in an apoplectic seizure, So quickly round the corner J decamped to Dr. Warner For pick-me-ups of brandy or magnesia ; And found on my return a surging mass of men collected, But 'twas at her each optic was directed. So rapt their admiration was it needed much persuasion To get them all inside and clear the pavement ; But as the way of fans is they kept throwing backward glances In worship of the cause of their enslavement. "We closed ihe doors, conjecturing they'd cool their feelings warm, once We started on the evening performance. Alas ! No operator could be found ; we caught him later On bended knee before her in the gutter, A love-sick, drooping low-cuss with his feelings out of focus. And all his pulses in a painful flutter. We locked him in his box to guarantee he'd not be missed And then we heard we'd lost our pianist ! We found him agitato in a tremolo staccato, Emitting words of amorous devotion. The chief thought : " Why, the thing'll right itself when she's not single!" And straightway entertained a business notion. He said to her (.f instant action he'd a very high sensed : "I'll marry you myself— by special licence!" •BRIAN.
