EDITORIAL (A Free- Verse Fable) Once upon a Time (Legends, Novels, Fables and other Such Untruths Have a Habit of Happening Then), There was a Boy. His Father was a Merchant Or a Carpenter or a Banker or Whatever you Please, and his Mother Was the Best Of all Good Mothers. They Together Worked and Saved and Sacrificed all their Lives To Give the Boy an Education. Well, the Boy, He Took it. Took it like a Dose of Quinine or the Measles. He got Through the Grades And High School, and Then he Thought: Dad and Mother are Pippins; I ' ll say That for Them. But they ' re Old-fashioned and Have Queer Ideas. Here I ' ve Gone Through High School and I ' m Educated. I ' ll Get some Soft Job and You See Whether I ' m not Rich at Forty. Which Proved the Boy To be One Part Peacock and Two Parts Pure Fool. Well, he, as Might be Expected, Never Got a Job — At Least, not a Good One. He Broke His Father ' s Heart and his Mother ' s. At Forty he was Clerking In a Shoe Store. At Seventy he was a Crushed, Childish Old Man. The Moral is, I Think, Clear. — Frederic Arv ' m Thirteen
