"The Swell Clerk" (a Vinegar Valentine's Day Card)
The Swell Clerk.
Go away you homely
little dude, or I’ll hit you with a feather.
I really think t’would
make you wilt, though I’d prefer it leather.
As for your natty suit
of clothes, that you love to sport about,
You’ll stick it in a
pawn-shop before the month is out.
The girls think you are
silly, or what is even worse,
A dude who has an empty
head, and owns an empty purse.
“The
Swell Clerk” (a Vinegar Valentine), from the Norcross Greeting Card
Collection of the Smithsonian Institution, NMAH.AC.0058, AC0058-0000045.tif
