The College Vampire A boy there was and he left for school. Even as yoii and I. Under the entirely accepted rule That the place to learn to be less of a fool AVas a college with its great knowledge pool Flowing eternally. The boy got to school and his books he bought. Even as you and I. This man ' s lines and that man ' s thought — He thought then he had some wisdom caught. But the fool found out that it was all for naught But egotistic vanity. The boy learned how to smoke and drink. Neither as you nor L His friends were pleasant, but from books he ' d shrink And never once did he stop to think That bottles and cards are the connecting links Between fools and depravity. The boy stayed there for one short year Neither as you nor I. He had learned to boast and coax and swear.
