AFTER THE BATTLE.
•' Well, well! " exclaimed the Carving Knife, Vk'licn dinnertime was done; " J reckon that was something ■Rather mere than common fun. / For ducks and geese I've conquered, .And tho turkeys by the score, lj But this was some old property, I nover faced before! " His gentlo wife, the Carving Fork, Replied: "That's very true, , J/ No hero of tho battlefield Deserves such praise as you. 1 1 watched each gallant flourish love, And did my very best, To hold tho wretch while you prepared To plungo into his breast." Ill" Again, and yet again, you strove To deal the stroke of doom. I heard a growl like thunder roll Around the diningroom. 'But, since the war is over, love, Forget the horrid thing! ."We may not have to meet again I A chicken of the Spring! —(Copied). Sent in by Eileen Gore, Clevedon.
