30 THE MESSALONSKEE RIPPLIZ REMINISCING Once in a lonely cottage near the sea, There lived a lonely fisherman-and me. The waves would crash on the beach at night While the wild geese lamented their weary flight. When morning came, the scene t would change. A ship would pass, blown off its range By the wind the night before, While high in the sky the gulls would soa1'. The cottage is gone, the iisherman, too. I go there sometimes where the Wild wind blew, And stand by his humble grave for prayer Happy that he's in a land so fair. N1211. COLLAR, '4-3 ,T..-0,1.i DAYS When days are dark and dreary, Nothing is too cheery For most of us. When days are bright and sunny, Everything is funny For some of us. Now that we've taken both days- Know the feeling both ways-- It's clear to us- That life is none too happy, Sometimes not too snappy For any of us. AGNES LEATIIERS, '42 NINETY FOURS Years ago in the ninety fours, When hearts were kind as never before, That was the time when things got done- Now 'tis said they were only begun. When the fiery sun sank from their sight, And clothed the land in a pale pink light, People stopped work and said, Amen Another day has come to an end. Though some of them went out at night, By eight o'clock they came back all right. Those were the days that now are o'er- I wish I'd lived in the ninety fours. FRED IlADD, '41 . .0., THE BIBLE I have a book that's dear to me. Its stories all are true, And one should read it every day Until he's read it through. It tells how Jesus made the world Each day until the last, And how he rested without work Until the seventh was past. It tells us then how Jonah Was swallowed by the whale, And Daniel in the lion's den- But Jesus did not fail. This book that is so dear to me, No doubt you know it too. But if you don't, I hope you'l1 strive To read it till you do. LILLIAN F1vLu:n, '42

THE MESSALONSKEE RIPPLE 29 Though they are such little creatures, That's no reason why They haven't the right to live, As long as you or I. FRANCIS BmI.I.Ann, L3 5 -.oil MAINE Oh most wonderful state of Maine! The state and land of vacation, Your rock-bound-coast and country lane . . . The pride and joy of our nation. Oh most beautiful state of Maine! Your lakes and woodland streams On which Cwhen it doesn't rainl The beautiful sunset beams. RONALD HANllI.PIi', '43 .llo-l DAYDREAMS Sometimes I sit by myself all alone And wish I could be a queen high on a throne To rule the sun, the moon, and the stars, The tidal waves, and the volcano's jars, To be the mistress of nature so fair, To be the goddess of beauty that's rare. But then I lean back and think once more What a weary life I'd have in store. lh:'r'rY IlIN'l', '42 l.....0 NAMELESS 'Twas very dark and quiet Upon this eve of May, They were alone in darkness Now list' to what I say: Upon the couch this evening . . fl know just where they satj Alone and very quiet . . . My brother and his cat! R. I.0'runoP, '41 il.0 DEMOCRACY We've just begun a task immense, To organize for our defense. It makes no difference where you stay, Just get behind the U. S. A. Although the future is not bright, We have only begun to fight. With ships and guns we'll sail the seas To help defend Democracy. Now is the time-before too late, To turn the tide-at the earliest date. As Americans, we have a trait Of lighting the Dictators whom we hate. We who see the Red, White and Blue, I know, will always be true, And we will, if we have to, Fight for Democracy-as others do. IIOBI-Ill'l' Col'uur.i N, '12 -- 0 -... THE MOUSE A little furry creature crawls From his home between the walls. He comes out through his little door About the size a bit could bore. He steals up to a loaf of bread And gnaws its wrappers into shreds. Then this curious furry soul Starts back to its little hole. He stops and scents the fragrant air And smells the odor of cheese so rare. Finding the delicious odor everywhere, He finally traces it to the attic stair. Finding the cheese ion a trap it was placcdl So blindly up to his death he paced. He grabbed a bite of the much wanted thing, fcheesej And up 'round his neck clamped the mouse trap ring! Conclusion Don't jump into things too quickly, he learned, Even for things all your life you've yearned. As the saying goes look before you leap, And you will longer your happiness keep. Ronmrr B1.Ax1A:, '4-3
