20 POETRY The difference belween fradilional and modern s+yles of poe+ry is well exemplified by +hese Iwo confribulions from a French major, who suggesfed +ha+ we migh+ like Io prinf one of fhem. We prim' bolh. Once I laughed in days gone by, Bur now, alas! I si+ and sigh. The swear of my labors, +he salr of my +ears, Have gone inl'o French for 'Ihese fhree years. Now I si? forlorn, o'er my book sadly brood: I can'+ +ell condilional from indicafive mood, I don I know genders, I don'+ know lenses: For ignorance of Francais I've pu+ up defenses. The reacher reminds us +ha+ Regenfs are coming, As info our heads some French she's drumming. And so I si'I' and look al' my book, II Iaur que ie passe, by work, hook, or crookl Il Once I laughed and chorrled gaily. Bu+ now I sigh wifh regref and apprehension. I sir looking dolorously a+ my French book. For 'lhree years I have labored and looked a+ if desullorily, I sI'ill don'+ know condirional from indicafive, I am innocenr of lenses or genders. The 'Ieacher keeps repea+ing +ha+ lhe Regen+s are coming, As she keeps frying 'ro drum French inro us. Mon Dieu! I iusl' golfa pass 'rhose Regenfsl Tha+'s why I sir and srudy my French.
