A. Boil in the kettle, is worth two on the neck

THE FLAPPER ON THE WALL
RADDON COURT WHEN I COME BACK TO BILLETS I MEET YOU AGAIN
Sept 14 1917 With your tommy askew on your heart;
I forget all the mud, and the toil in the rain,
When I think of the things we'd said.
~~~~~
If we meet in the Cafe you used to frequent
(We'd have met there before once or twice)
When nothing we murmured would ever be meant
And you'd wallow in chocolates and ice
~~~~~~~~~~
But you sit up aloft, and you're giving the"eye?
There's a glass at your pink finger -tips;
And you're looking at me with a glance that is shy
And a damned lucky straw in your tips!
[next page]
Small service is true service while it lasts
Of friends however humble scorn not one
The daisy by the shadow that it casts
Protects the lingering dewdrop from the sun
With best wishes from
