Let Us Look Ahead . . . or . . . This D ivining Racket Ain't Cracked Up Like It Orto Be I asked Sindbad the Sailor to tell us where we're going: He cocked his head and answered that he's blamed if he'd be knowin g. But ask the moon, the sailor said, for he knows all that's knowed, And he can tell you what you'll reap e'en 'fore the seed is sowed. Now, old round puss looked very wise, and averred he could tell: But, being old, he'd overwork and then be not too well. So seeking his advice turned out to be a silly waste of time: I gradually convinced myself divining ain't sublime. See here, I sez, you need no powers to dish out such a line, Just get to work and show the jerks 'tis easy to divine. A prophet may be out of luck outside his bailiwick, But come this June we'll all be out, so I won't mind the kick. So I took up my crystal ball, an apple ripe and raw, And, gazing keen, my eyes popped out, for here is what I saw: The general motto of the class-the gang of '41- Showed clearly as I caught a glimpse of sorrow, work, and fun. We defy the laws of scholars concerning how to think: They lead us up to water, but forsooth we may not drink. But, luckily, some few did think, constructing sturdy names. While others dawdled at their work and builded only frames. But each one found his rightful place, and did his part I see, To make us proud we live so wellin good Amerikey. fYou know, folks, poetic license don't cost a thing, and it su in handyj Young Ellington had got a place a mile or so from here, And spent his days a-stalking hares, and rattlesnakes, and deer. And Faye sought, too, the lighter side Cremember I'm a seerl Except the game she hankered for was another kind of dear. Yes, Downey fled with might and main, half-hearted I confess, And ended up by giving out a harassed-sounding yes. Kid Cupid smote with wand once more-it fell on platinum locks Our Con picked out a taxi-miss to wash and darn his socks. For Blondie liked not single bliss with all its reverie: She'd go through much to lose the name Virginia Siverly. re does come Now some there were who married not, but strove for world renown: Our Roger barbered long and well in friendly Cleone-town. Glenn Shade went on to greater heights than anybody hoped: He played the slick, and made it stick-till finally he got roped. flf the metre in this epic slips to one side now and then the avid reader will please remember that the mind of a seer is padded with greased lightningj The day arrived when Marianne became an office clerk- She soon forgot the eyes she'd made at one be-smitten jerk. But Jimmy got along all right with selling beans and such, And added money to his poke-yea muchl Yea much!! Yea much!!! fSome poetry, eh?j It may not dawn upon the slow just how hard Silas fought To get the blokes at Carnival to give him what it ought. fOuchl Just a memory. Prophecy unrepossiblej But back to deeds of more re-piu-te. Remember Mary fair? The Blue Slrvnk- Page fourteen
