Story 226
Don’t Scoff
At the mention of work, the lazy boy oft, would scoff, unless the
work was very soft.
One day he started to hiccough. So he went to the water “
trough,” and began to quaff. His boss, ticked off , thinking that
he was likely goofing off , said, “That’s once too oft !” And
discharged him right off .
Story 227
In the Loft
On a choice toft on a small croft, there lived an Englishman
who oft, slept aloft in a hayloft.
He preferred the loft, despite how he coughed, which had
his wife think that his head was “ soft.” But in truth, had
she known of the liquor he quaffed, she would have done
more than scoff.
