Explore "The Smoker's Year Book" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Who's that pedler at the door? / What! November, back once more? / Why, it seems but yesterday / That he took himself away! / Say I'm out! Tell him to go! / He has nothing new to show.
Same old lay-out every trip, / Same Pneumonia, same old Grippe, / Same old Hard Luck tales to tell, / Same Thanksgiving Day -- oh, well, / Show him in -- then stir the log / And bring church-warden pipes and grog.
