O ' s for Opinions to Open One ' s eyes, Given in class when we wish to seem wise. P is for Pains and for faces all Pale, Which just before churchtime, on Sundays, Prevail. Q is for Questions and Queries Quite Queer, With which we kill time when the hour ' s end is near. R ' s for the Running, which follows the bell, When we Rush, tying neckties, to breakfast, pell mell. S for the Serenade, loud and Sonorous, Sounding So Sweetly, ere Slumber Steals o ' er us. T ' s for the Theories, some of us hold, But which we don ' t practice if Truth must be Told. U ' s for the Use, most Unusual, made Of a golf-stick, for stirring up iced lemonade. V ' s for the Vigor with which we ' ll essay To Vie for a Victory on our Field Day. W ' s the Watchman, most Wakeful of Wights, Who Wards off all danger and harm in the nights. X is for Xerxes and Xantippe, who Xpired before aught of Abbot they knew. Y ' s for this Year, — to its end it has drawn — And so has this rhyme, so stifle that Yawn. Z is for Zach, the last but not least, And now I must stop, inspiration has ceased. 15
