An Overworked Word.

An artist paints our pictures and an artist cooks our feed; An artist writes the poems and the novels that we read; An artist draws the sketches for the books and magazines; An artist writes of Gatling guns and war’s destructive scenes. An artist serves our drinks to us; an artist shines our shoes; An artist makes our clothing and an . artist sells the news; An artist' shaves our faces and an artist pulls our teeth; An artisrt runs our trolley cars and grinds us underneath. An artist sells us shirts and socks; an artist nails the crime Another artist failed in solving, once upon a time; An artist serves our demitasse; an artist sings our songs; An artist wields a Jorgenson to right his country's wrongs. An artist gets our money with his little game of guff; An artist writes the coon songs- -goodness knows he writes enough! An artist makes our sausages, an artist piny s a part; The world is full of artists-but where, ob, where is art?
