ELECTRICITY
[An Original Poem by U N.G.”I There’ll be no need to fear when Springfilenning draws near, For Electra has come to my aid; She is ever at hand, quite a power in the Hand, My amply efficient new maid. She can wash, bake and stew, haat tho bath-water too, And make toast that’s deliciously brown; She won’t quit, she won’t slack, and she won’t answer back. And my current expenses keeps downdown. I have no need to sweep, my floors spotless she’ll keep, And at. ironing no one can beat her; While at afternoons off my Electra would scoff, Once n quarter her .young man wilil meet her. And should yon design, though Electra is mine, To peisnade her your handmaid to be. You cun have her with pleasure, lor this modern treasure Can serve you without leaving me.
