THE MISSING LINK
——
The theory of DarwinWith evidence was bound; But when the chain was broken One link could not be found Connecting Man and Monkey,—Yet Modern Science shows Advancement which may nearly That missing link disclose.
The "Telephonic System"Has spread near and afar; Until the Way-Back County And Town connected are. Thus, sturdy "country Jamie," With hands and cheeks so brown And heart so true and loyal, Can call up Reg. in town—
"Dude Reggie" with the eyeglass, And hair in "done up" curls; With brain so weak he scarcely Can think of aught but "Girls,"— As at the 'phone they linger, The line does then, I think; Connect the Man and Monkey And forms The Missing Link!
