<h2> The Twins </h2>
<p>There were two brothers, John and James,<br/>
And when the town went up in flames,<br/>
To save the house of James dashed John,<br/>
Then turned, and lo! his own was gone.<br/>
<br/>
And when the great World War began,<br/>
To volunteer John promptly ran;<br/>
And while he learned live bombs to lob,<br/>
James stayed at home and—sneaked his job.<br/>
<br/>
John came home with a missing limb;<br/>
That didn't seem to worry him;<br/>
But oh, it set his brain awhirl<br/>
To find that James had—sneaked his girl!<br/>
<br/>
Time passed. John tried his grief to drown;<br/>
To-day James owns one-half the town;<br/>
His army contracts riches yield;<br/>
And John? Well, <i>SEARCH THE POTTER'S FIELD.</i><br/></p>
