Poor Hiaumtlja Hiawatha, bent on knowledge, Left his home to enter college; Packed his grip with shirts and collars, Took dad’s blessings, likewise dollars; Then so brave and wise and prudent, Hiked away to be a student. Minnehaha was a maiden Who, with high-school learning laden, Young and full of animation, Landed here for registration. Oh, that old matriculation! Gee, that horrid vaccination. Hiawatha met this beauty, Fell in love, as was his duty; Got to acting kinder funny, Rushed her steady, spent his money, All his papa’s dollars blowing— Well, I think Min had him going. But Hiawatha soon went busted, And the girl whom he had trusted Quit him for a better goer— For a Soph who chanced to know her, And with her had got quite smitten, Poor old Hi, he got the mitten.
