,X I i i , A' V 1 Home Thoughts from Abroad Skinner, thou forcest me to write, Altho my muse is silent quite, An article for your Codasco To save it from complete fiasco. Ceylon absorbs my soul today, Its coral strands inspire my lay, , I do not know that Burroughs beat us, Nor mind Ham SWift's appendicitis. They tell me that the spring is dry, I laugh in glee, and cry, My, my! Missouri mules mean naught to me, I dwell beside the tropic sea. The Hying fish come out to play And Hing themselves about the bayg Idly I watch them trim and tidy And murmur low, At home it's Friday. Barefooted, darkskinned boys with glasses Go pitter-patter o'er the grasses, Imagination seizes pinions And gives a thought to Minnie's minions. A lateen sail shoots fast along, Its crew intone an Indian song, My thoughts to chapel madly run- Perhaps they're singing No. 1. The natives wear such funny clothes, Dark-hued and colored, blue and rose, Their dress, so varied and so odd, Reminds me of the tennis squad. Ave et vale! What is this? My muse expireth with a hiss. I groan that we must sail on Sunday, And sigh: Sic transit gloria mundilv X f ,X I , f Ceylon, December 1, 1931. ' I .
