The Departure of TWAS the time when days grow longer, Wnen the sun is on the hilltops, On the hilltops and the valley. Making warm the verdant meadows; When the blossoms bloom in beauty Without fear of icy north winds; When the streamlets flow in murmurs, Towards the great and mighty ocean, Kissed by warm and loving sunbeams. ' Twas the time of early summer, When all nature seems most happy. That the great and mighty prophet. The far-famed and learned scholar, James, the Wise Man of Highskoolum, Did declare, with voice majestic: Hearken to me, oh my people. Hear me, for I wish to warn you. If you do not heed my warning. Woe betide you — I have said it — I have noticed some among you. Some among the tallest of you, Some among the eldest of you. Some who think themselves the wisest, (Naughty-three, they call each other) Who will soon usurp the kingdom. Who will rule our land, Highskoolum, If their schemes are not prevented, If some measures are not taken. By which this can be averted. They are getti ng quite unruly. They have what is called the Big Head. Naughty =Three . We must send them from Highskoolum, Or they will corrupt the morals Of the youngest of my people. We must send them into exile. Never more to come back to us; Into long eternal exile. We will send them to U Ceum, To that famous seat of learning. Where they ' ll soon be cured of Big Head. We will give them slips of paper. To admit them to that country. And when they have once departed To that famous land U Ceum, We can sit back and be happy. Fearing not an insurrection. Thus spoke James, the learned prophet. And the rulers of Highskoolum, Thought his warning was most timely. For they too had seen the symptoms, Of that dread disease, the Big Head; Seen the people grow unruly. And they thought it best to send them Into long eternal exile. To the great land of U Ceum. Thus they left for larger regions. For a new and unknown country, Where the laws were very different. Where they knew not all the customs. Of the people dwelling in it. Still there were some glad to go there. Glad to leave behind Highskoolum,
