THE CONVERSION by RALPH WILHELM BERGENGREN

First Line: SHE TOLD HIM SURELY 'TWAS NOT RIGHT
Last Line: "WHY, THEN, I LOVE YOUR OLD PIPE, TOO."
Subject(s): SMOKING; TOBACCO; PIPES; CIGARS; CIGARETTES;

SHE told him surely 'twas not right
To smoke a pipe from morn to night.
"Indeed," cried he, "what would you, dear?
'Tis but to aid my thoughts of you."
"Why, then," she whispered, nestling near,
"Why, then, I love your old pipe, too."
