HA MMOND HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Edgar Forrester, Alias “Ike the Fusser.” He had once been grave and thoughtful And quite studiously inclined And devoted many hours To the culture of his mind. But alas; Some time ago On a bright and sunny day He enjoyed himself immensely As only a fusser may. That cooked his goods and turned his head, That burst his reason’s bands. He learned the art which none except The fusser understands. He’d fuss with one fair maiden For three nights straight or so And when she said, “Come around again” Ike never answered, No. But the next night he’d change his course And with another go, And thus he kept themjguessing By flitting to and fro. He’d fuss one in the morning Then through the afternoon He’d fuss all through the evening By the light of the silvery moon. And still he fusses night and day From September till July He will still be fussing doubtless When his last hour draweth nigh. I think that when the summons comes To leave this world of cares He’ll be fussing with the angels As he climbs the golden stairs.
