CONVERSATIONAL, by                    
First Line: How's your father?' came the whisper
Last Line: "came the climax, 'how's your parents?'"
Subject(s): Conversation


"How's your father?" came the whisper,
Bashful Ned the silence breaking;
"Oh, he's nicely," Annie murmured,
Smilingly the question taking.

Conversation flagged a moment,
Hopeless, Ned essayed another:
"Annie, I -- I," then a coughing,
And the question, "How's your mother?"

"Mother? Oh, she's doing finely!"
Fleeting fast was all forbearance,
When in low, despairing accents,
Came the climax, "How's your parents?"
