The Lunch Hour fVVith apologies to Longfellowl Between mathematics and Latin, VVith X still an unknown power, Comes a pause of thirty minutes That is known as lunch-time Hhourfl A sudden rush from the stairway, A sudden raid from the hall, By doors that are vainly guarded VVe scale the lunch-room wall. Disregarding the soup and the salad, VVe storm the ice cream stand, And crowd around the bungalows VVith a Hdogll in either hand. VVe wander in search of a L'settee, VVith a trail of soup in our wake, And sit with joyous abandon On son1ebody's chocolate cake. Discussing the text in English, The dance of the night before, VVe balance our soup on our knee-cap VVhile our sandwich falls to the floor. A bell rings shrilly in warning, As we gulp down the last bit of cake, Hut we must snatch a minute longer For beauty and vanity sake. The lunch-time hour is over And silence holds full sway, VVhile the crumbs in incalculable numb hloulder in dust away. 61' ALICE SAcK1N. A8. U21
