The Same Old Thing, In the Same Old Way Here I am at half past ten Trying to write a theme again. The same old thing, in the same old way, Nothing to write, and nothing to say. Life is like an old man’s grudge: From its tracks I cannot budge. The same old thing, in the same old way, No time to sleep, and no time to play. Then first of all I must translate The French lesson I’m inclined to hate. The same old thing, in the same old way. Not for a minute but for almost a day! That isn’t all, there are two books more Over whose pages I have to pore. The same old thing, in the same old wTay, The same old lessons every day. So after all without much speeding I have a theme not worth reading. The same old thing, in the same old way, Nothing to write but much to say. Mary Louise Astry ’22. page twenty-seven
