KISSING IN THE STREET 
Did you ever notice, mortals-Now I'll bet a cent you did-How the ladies-pretty creaturesCan't keep their feelings Lid? But they are kissing out in public, Kissing everywhere they meet; Kiss-kiss at church and shopping, And-kissing-in the street! m Behold a charming maiden, Arrayed in fashion's bight, She meets upon the sidewalk A friend she saw last night: "How are you, my darling Nellie? How glad I am to meet"-Then a dainty shake of fingers, And-kissing-in the street 
A bachelor beside us Says, " Pity that is done So much, for I am certain It can't be any fun: This kissing out in public, Kissing everywhere they meet; Kiss, kiss, at church and shopping, And-kissing-in the street! 
"But the secret great is this, sir: The maiden has no beau-No gentleman to kiss her; she must her feelings show. By kissing out in public, Kissing all she may meet; Kissing, kiss at church and shopping, And-kissing- in the street.' 
Now, merry-hearted maidens. And women more discreet, Give over this bad habit Of kissing in the street. Remember that false traitor Who knelt at Jesus' feet, And don't become a greater By kissing in the street. 
Be noble-minded women, With hearts attuned to right, Then shall each see the other. As those who dwell in light; But neve:- for an instant, Whoever you may meet, Be caught like silly noodles, A-kissing in the street.
