Pat and Mike, working on a night shift in a mill, decide that their work
can be done by one, and arranged that they would alternate on the job
after the boss went home at midnight.
The first night it was Pat’s turn to go home. A half hour later he
surprised Mike by rushing into the mill and hurrying into his overalls.
“Mike,” he exclaimed, “I nearly got caught. I was just about to walk into
my home when I saw, through the window, the boss eating a midnight supper
with my wife.”

Here’s to Gretchen in the kitchen
Frying doughnuts in the grease,
With her lover bending o’er her,
Coaxing, begging for a piece
Of the doughnuts in the grease.

Little Miss Muffet, who sat on a tuffet,
Eating her lunch one day,
When a speeder espied her and drew up beside her,
And both of ’em beat it away.
