LINES ON A SENIOR The tardy bell gave forth its blast, As through a classroom door there passed A senior, who with fearsome tread Approached his seat and sadly said, Oh woe is me! His brow was dark, his eyes were glazed, As on his home-work sheet he gazed, And with a trembling pen did write These gruesome words in black and white: X equals 6. Look here! the teacher did implore, I'll go through this clause just once more It seems to be quite hard of late Your granite skulls to penetrate. In 1812 ..... For home-work now you'll kindly do This work that I'll assign to you. It's rather short, I must confess. 'Twill take you several hours-no less- There's more to come. Example two, page fifty-four- Just write three hundred words or more. The senior rose. His voice was low. The words came painfully and slow: Aw, have a heart! The teacher's voice was cold as rock. It caused the senior's knees to knock. Explain yourself! He falteringly said, Without some 'shut-eye' I'll go dead. I get no sleep. Behold these circles 'neath my eyesg Observe the yawn which fain would rise. I am, alas, a jitterbug. I spent all last night 'cutting rug'- I'm all beat out! Ah, once I was a freshman gay, But now my hair is turning gray. I used to think that life was great, No late hour made me hesitate. Them days is gone! The teacher's voice still held no cheer. The final regents soon are here, Yet when to study you should strive, You sit up 'digging' Goodman's 'jive'- And shaggin' down! Upon your dome, a rill' I'll beat. The rhythm educates your feet, . And that's where you must keep your brains Because I know your head contains- Excelsior! Dave Sweet 19
