HE MILLWHEEL fbi. Jan We drop in for a cup of tea With Mrs. VanDyke nee Margia B. She gossips Erma's a diplomat, And tells who lives upstairs in the flat. She's heard a tale that does astound, And knows you're famed and I'm renowned. Come dear old class-mate, you and I Will steal away from By-andfBy, From days to come when life is sweet And all the world is at our feet, From distant days toward which we're bound, When you are famed and I'm renowned. We'll leave the Future's thoroughfares, We'll quit the Future's balmy airs, To be the You and I again, Whose years were only few, and then We, with our class to graduate, When you're not famed and I'm not great. -JESSIE TYLER Oh, my prophetic soul! 21

HE MILLWHEEL A coach, resplendent parts the throng, Heralded by cheering loud and long, For from it bows the football champ, Norman! whose spirit ne'er was damp. How our cheers and yells were drowned. Oh well, you're famed and I'm renowned. We take in Mellon's matinee, Viola is starring there today, Then dancing Ferry! holds the stage Gay debonair, despite her age. The public's idol, long since crowned- Tut! You're not famed nor me renowned. A fat policeman ambles by, And angry! Yes as sure as I am I And what is that he has in tow? Ella Atz! And so angry-Oh. She ran him down as I'l1 be bound, When you are famed and I'm renowned. We step within the courtfhouse door To hear the lawyers rant and roar. Is that Ked's voice we hear afar, Defend a criminal at the bar, And all the evidence confound? Ked's quite as famed as we're renowned. The schoolfbell rings, the lines troop in, We see the teacher dour and thin, Ruth Bye! Bless my hat That dear old Ruth should come to that! Some things without a doubt astound When you are famed and I am renowned. A cinder settles in my eye, I hail Doc Murphey careening by, She flourishes her handkerchee, Demands a hundred dollar fee And gets threeffourths of it, at least, When you are famed and I am fleeced. We know in part and prophecy in pafrt 20
