THEODORE HONG ' 50 One day while I was walking I had a brilliant thought. I will create a very smart monster, Which no one could have bought. In Biology I studied, Intently, all the parts And put them all together By-means-of Geometric arts. In English we taught him everything Including Shakespear ' s rythm. But although Shakespeare was immortal The monster created his own system. In the next year we had covered Every famous book, But alas to my expectations I forgot to teach him to cook. So I bought him every cook book And taught him everything And soon to my great admiration, He cooked a meal fit for a king. I took him to the capitol In Washington, D. C. And felt so very happy When the president shook hands with me. And suddenly it happened: A ray had pierced my eye! I found that I was dreaming And felt that 1 would die! But soon I swallowed my sorrow And thought of relating my events And that is why you ' re reading My poem you ladies and gents. I wrote down my whole story And sent it in one day, And soon I found it printed Right in the CRIMSON AND CRAY. Bowling Bowling is in its fourth year at the high school.
