BAGATELLES: CHELSEA, by                    
First Line: And life is like a pipe
Last Line: And life's as well out too!
Alternate Author Name(s): Marzials, Theo; Marzials, Theophile Jules Henri
Subject(s): Life; Love


And life is like a pipe,
And love is the fusee;
The pipe draws well, but bar the light,
And what's the use to me?

So light it up, and puff away
An empty morning through,
And when it's out -- why love is out,
And life's as well out too!
