In this second post of three featuring autograph book entries, these are from my aunt's book. She was born in 1912, and the entries date from the 1920s to very early 1930s. I treasure this book, and hope you like the extracts. When I can get blogger to put the pictures straight in, I will. In the meantime the links are there.

Definition of a Kiss
Something rather naughty, something rather nice,
Something rather wicked, though it can't be called a vice.
Some people say it's folly, others say it's wrong -
But we all agree it's folly, though it doesn't last long.

If you wish to grow thinner,
Diminish your dinner
And take to light claret
Instead of pale ale.
Look down with utter
Contempt upon butter
And never eat bread
Till it's toasted or stale.

A ship without a rudder
And a ship without a sail -
But the coldest thing in winter
Is a shirt without a tail.

Just commenting on my own blog to see if it works, as others have had trouble.
