LADY ANNE’S LAMENT Please don't mention My loving man to me, For he’s off to a convention With his banjo on his knee. He struck a chord upon it And caroled a farewell, A feather in his bonnet And a badge in his lapel. He's gone to hear the Story Of Sprockets, Then and Now, In waves of oratory That slosh about his brow. Then in some tavern stately He'll sit so brave and free With what is, I fear greatly, No banjo on his knee. And when my loving man, Joe, Comes reeling home, a wreck, I'm going to take his banjo And wrap it ‘round his neck. —ETHEL JACOBSON. neW yORK CITy, AP ril 156. 19305 Well. Sir!
