SITUATIONS

 

In The New York Times for July 19, 1921

Which records there'd been 

A fire in a cheese factory fire 

And that my great grandfather,

With his friend Sam, bought a tiny building 

On a street that no longer exists) there are ads

For situations wanted. It's hard to get situated;

Though I'm not sure what we'll do

I've decided to hire the middle aged widow 

Willing to run a house or be a companion

Or, really, do almost anything; the schoolgirl;

The quickwitted stenographer and the young man

Willing, for a moderate salary, to be generally helpful.
