“They sat on the steps at midnight,
two fools that were better in bed;
murmuring honeyed nothings, while
the silver moon hung her head. Two
fopls with joyous elation swooped the
microbes on their lips, and thrilled
with a queer sensation from toes to
their finger tips. Telling the same
stuff over and over that was nothing
when it was new; giggling, gushing
and burning, but frozen through and
through. This the fond affection the
young folks have to bear, they think
it love undying and angels in envy
stare. The bachelor thinks it is
nothing, the old maid says it is vice,
and mama says it is naughty, but the
youngsters know it is nice.”—Ex.
