A Faint Hearted Lover



I hope they soon will get machines
     To read what people think;
No matter what the cost of one,
     I’d buy it quick as wink.

The reason I’m so anxious is,
     I love a pretty maid;
But she’s so small and I’m so big
     To tell her I’m afraid.

And so I’d send her this machine,
     And we would happy be;
For she could read right through my vest
     Just what is ailing me.
