Ja, det kan man fråga sig

I en av högarna hittar jag en maskinskriven lapp med överskriften "We wonder", och jag läser:

WE WONDER

 

If gardeners beat around the bush

If things could be squared at a round-table conference

If April fools steal a March

If lawyers work with will

If truthful people lie in bed

If fast colours do not run

If a first violin ever plays second fiddle

If all-round men go straight

If dressmakers ever get pins and needles

If the hairdresser rules the waves

If a nation can stand on its feet without arms

If a man of grit gets in the public eye

If the Minister of Transport will mend his bad "ways"

If stockbrookers get below par

If page-boys grow into bookkeepers

If the stamp collector sticks to his job

If composers face the music

If we can pass a by-pass

If silversmiths look on the bright side

If roadmen cut the ground from under their feet

If people travel to make their money go a long way
