THE CARELESS SMOKER A fool there was and his pipe he lit <? ven as you and I) On a forest trail where the leaves were fit To become ablaze from the smallest . bit * 7 Of spark?and the fool he furnished it (Even as you and I.) The forest was bunred to its very roots, * Even beneath the ground, 'With the flowers, the birds and the poor dumb brutes, Old hoary oaks, and the tender shoots Which might have made logs _but for such galoots, Allowed to wander 'round. The lumberjack has now passed on, His pay-day comes no more; An* the screech-owls haunt the camp at dawn Where the cook's tin pan 'woke the men of brawn; But the mill is silent, the trees are gone, * The soil and forest floor. A deadly sight are those hills of rocks Which once were beds of green. No hope for the human, no food for the flocks; The floods must be held by expensive locks, While the harbor is silted to the docks? The ships no more are seen. But the fool smokes on in the forest still, Leaves camp-fires burning too, While the patient public pays the bill And the nation's wealth is destroyed fo nil. If the law doesn't get him, the Devil will? Smoker, it's up to you! , ?Harris A. Reynolds. (Printed by request of Kershaw County Forestry Association.)
