APPARENT by ALBERT ELLSWORTH THOMAS

First Line: WHEN I QUESTIONED YOUNG SMITHSON, A SHORT TIME AGO
Last Line: "THE REASON'S A PARENT!"" CRIED HE."
Subject(s): PARENTS; PARENTHOOD;
WHEN I questioned young Smithson, a short time ago,
Why no longer he courted Miss B.,
He looked at me strangely, and smiled just a bit --
"The reason's a parent!" cried he.
