I'M NONE TOO r I! Hill I Study, study all the day, Rush to get it done that night. At the handwriting, the teachers say, “Goodness gracious, boy, what a sight!” That English theme I had to do, Was such a mixed up mess, I gave it to the teacher, who Will give me a D (or less). Caesar fought in Gaulic war, Or so my Latin said, It’s deep as an ocean (or more) Just can’t get it thru my head. History is not quite as bad, As math or science and such, But it still makes me very sad, ’Cause I don’t study it as much. Study, study all the day, Rush to get it done at night, Same old story, in the same old way, I guess I’m just none too bright. —Fern Tucker IT’S TOUR WORLD MOW, MT SOM It’s your world now, my son, The fighting, dying, rebuilding, reliving, They’re all yours now. When you were first born you were brought into a world of war. You grew up and heard—“This country defeated—these people annihilated. In school you learned this country fights because it’s in her blood. Your first childhood friend was a Jew. You were told later to hate him because he is a Jew. Your first date was with a Catholic girl, And your Protestant friends jeered you. It’s your world now, my son. Make of it what you can. You have a castle to build, my son, take your time and build it well, For you will be building an eternity. —Mary Lou Walker
