THE MIRROR Things We Have All Thought About REVENGE If I were boss it would be fine, From school I would at once resign, Or rearrange a system new So French I would not have to do. I ' d change the work all in to play, And invent hour systems, like the N. R. A. In the fire my chemistry, and history, I ' d toss And tell the teachers, I ' m the boss! WILFRED Three thirty P. M. at the pace of a snail, He enters with his broom, dust pan, and pail. When there is the closing of a window, a scrape of a chaii, Ah, we know that Wilfred must be there. There is no time to whistle, he ' s too tired to sing, Th ere are windows to wash, the lockers need dusting. Chewing gum in the corners, old papers on the floor, Here a sandwich crust, there an apple core. When there is the closing of a window, the scrape of a chair, Ah, we know that Wilfred must be there. LAZINESS If I do my History for today, That will be something out of the way. If I write my English for tomorrow I ' ll save myself a deal of sorrow. If I do my Latin, and French for a change The teachers will think it pleasantly strange. But why do this if it ' s only a sham? It ' s best to be just the way I am. COMMON THINGS We have exams four times a year, We often wonder why. Our teachers we respect, and fear, We often wonder why. Folk-dances we are made to do, We often wonder why. The Sophomores keep a good sized zoo, We ofte n wonder why. It ' s work and toil from day to day, We often wonder why. They say that we are much too gay, We often wonder why. We ' re told that we are full of guile, We often wonder why. Life goes on with a tear and a smile, It ' s your turn to wonder for a while. 1935 Page 21
