Club Minutes: The Home Interest Society, 1931

Lulworth Meeting, Home Interest. Dec. 22, 1931

Some did not try, some stayed away Some "Pshaw, Forgot", some would not play. Some gave the threadbare "Donts" and "Dos", "Clean out the ice house" or what you choose. "Scrub down this", "clean up that", "Dont use the telephone to chat". "Plant this here", "Sow that out there", "Dont let the southern field go bare

Clippings are read and jokes are told While we just sit or laugh or scold Knowing, and this we must each confess, Our futile try will add nothingness; Because the bug-a-boo, - the word Can not be solved. It's just absurd. For all these definitions brought Togather, can not make forethought

So lets give up this futile thing We have been doing from Spring to Spring. But if this branch must be part of the trunk Lets change the name from Forethought to BUNK.
