Oh Where Are You Going My Pretty Maid?

Letter/Sketch or doodle

THROCKMORTON--I hear Alice has stuffed one of her cushions with her love letters.
VICTORIA--Pretty soft, what?

"A diller, a dollar, dear Uni scholar,
We'd like to sell you a pin;
It's not worth a nickle,
But we're in a pickle,
And we need your money like sin.
(Y. M. C. A. Wail)
 
So you slipped them a dollar, dear Uni scholar,
For admittance to heaven when dead;
St. Pete will say to you!
Ah! Another dollar is due
On that pin we're charging two dollars a head."

A music professor named Sam
Said, "Margery, dear you sure am,
The light of my eye. I wonder if I
Can teach you to work worth a D - - - N."

Raymond Robbins roving 'round for robbers,
Running ragged rubes 'round our rotten reeking rows,
Ranting Rookies roars "no more".
Say that it's an awful bore
To hear the rousing, rummy, rhymes,
that Raymond Robbins rants.
 

 
Mike Poteet is hard to beat
At graft in politics.
His latest game was to beat a dame
By his funny tricks.
 
Lauretta Lord of her own accord
Wanted a little glory.
Mike said "No, you haven't a show:
What's wrong with your upper story?"
 
The girl he was rushin says he quit fussin'
When he got his formal bid.
Mike says, "Hully Gee, I that that she
Knew I was a policy kid."
 
So he fools them all, both great and small,
He's certainly a Mexican athlete.
But a better guy is not under the sky
Than that crazy Marcus Poteet.
