I try my breath to swallow. One foot gets tangled in my pants, I light upon my shallows. I clatter over stony ways, O'er steps that are not level. I twist myself a hundred ways, Oh, gee! ain't I a devil? Till last by U'I-eary's room I go Outside to yawn and shiver. For men may come and men may go, But this goes on forever. Then on to breakfast I must go, Oh! why did I leave home? But my time has come, and I must know That it is wrong to roam. The porridge comes, it's in a crock, With here a cockroach sailing, And here and there a golden lock, And here and there a grayling. And here and there a foamy Hake Upon it as it travels, With many a piece of rattlesnake, And likewise golden gravel. pologies to Tennysonj -J. L. MCC' V f i il l i
