THE NEOGAMS—A WARNING
Newly married,
Railway carried;
Sighing.
At the station
Osculation;
Crying.
Smiling, parting;
Hands at starting
Gripping.
Cozy quarters,
Guards and porters
Tipping.
On the journey
Glances yearny,
Mooning.
Closely sitting,
As is fitting,
Spooning.
Destination;
Forced cessation.
Pity!
Porters poking
Fun, and joking,

On arriving,
Carriage driving;
Kissing.
Lovely scenery,
Lakes and greenery,
Missing.

Champagne drinking;
Waiter winking.

People smiling;

Furious.
After dining,
Arms entwining,
Walking
Sipping honey—

Talking.
So time passes;
Grinning asses
Guess 'em
Newly married,
Sorely harried—
Bless 'em!
