Thus a long while I, sat, looking up to the sky, And watching the clouds that went hurrying by, When I heard a voice calling, jus! over my head, That sounded as if, 'Come, Oh, Gur appointments are ample, convenient and up- •\ to-the-minute and, bejft of all, our officials and clerks are of the "Willing to Serve" kind.
