Let's hurry, they said, before the rain Hows. As they hurried on their way they MET faj CALF, When the goats spied her and they gave a sneering laugh. The WELCH-man was amazed, And in his eyes, anger blazed, How could his goats be so rude! It surely must be DUE to their mood, For they had at all times been polite, And in them he took JOY and delight. He chided his goats so DEER fingj , Saying why, my clears, DUE you sneer? We are jealous, was the reply, She is one of the class of 1917 at Westbrook Highg By this time so hard were the goats laughin' That they soon took to COFFINQ The man to his goats then said, For shame, hang your headlsj , The calf passed on, and yonder hill did gain, When down in torrents came the rain. In the rain the goats were caught, A wetting through was their fateful lotg If you do not think this true, I am sure no one could blame you. E. P. S., '17. ,1..i..--- A MAY DAY IDYL Sam Brown came from the country, With hayseed in his hairg And when he entered Westbrook High, He stood with frightened stare. But soon a girl espied his plight, And took him by the arm To guide him to the principal, Who stilled his wild alarm. A As days passed by, Sam lost his fear, But bashful grew insteadg And though he idolized that girl, Toward her, ne'er turned his head. But soon he had a happy thought, The month of May drew nearg A May-basket he'd fondly place, At the shrine of one most dear. But alas for bashful Sammie, He confided how he feltg And knowing not the wiles of Sophs, He asked one where she dwelt. It chanced that this kind Sophomore Himself that girl did likeg And so explained to eager Sam, The place where lived Old Mike. Old Mike, the miser, lived alone With his most vicious dog, And plagued and tricked by rascal boys, He threatened all to Hog. At last the fateful night arrived, And Sam with spirits lightg Had hung the basket on the door, And run with all his might. Then from the house there came a yell, The door was opened wideg And out the door there leaped the dog, Ere Sam had time to hide. Old Mike hurled threats and scornfu The dog came on full bound, ljibes Though Samuel was a Heshy youth, His sprinting would astound. Till reaching soon a low-branched tree, He clambered on a limbg g And there he sat for two long hours, While glared the cur at him. At last Old Mike aweary grew, And called the dog away: Then Sam with rising anger swore, For this that Soph shall pay! And here it may as well be said, That woe did soon betide, For Sammie licked that Sophomore, And won his girl beside. R. K., '19.
