Simplified Spelling
Sometimes a quiet hour I C's
From baking bread or shelling P's;
If cares oppress or worries T's,
I close my I's and sit at E's,
8 And listen to the droning B's,
Or hear the J's scold in the trees;
Of women none would I exQ's
Who would not thus odd moments U's.

For rest and cheer and sweet repose,
This duty to herself she O's;
We R not built to last for A,
The body wears the powers D K,
So if we re Y's we all will plan. To keep as youthful as we can
