Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.

And when you stick on conversation's burrs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.

And when you stick on conversation's burrs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.

And when you stick on conversation's burrs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.

And when you stick on conversation's burrs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.
