Uih? Qrcanur A Senior sat on a kitchen chair His feet on the pantry shelf, He busily puffed a cigarette And contemplated self. . His pants cut short ’most to his knees Exposed a bony frame, He rolled his eyes up toward the skies And made for himself a name. “Why yes,” said he, “it’s fame for me I am built for something great, I am not a one for little things, The common-place I hate. The Sophomores, they make me tired, And there are the Freshmen too, They spend their time in making noise But it’s little they ever do. A Senior is of a different class, His brain is the polished kind He has risen above the common ways His strength is of the mind. He need no longer chafe and fret His troubles most are o’er He has only now to enter in Opportunities’ open door.” So reasoning thus, he fell asleep His mind soon went to rest His hair fell down like frosted vines His chin dropped to his breast. His arms fell dangling at his side Till his fingers touched the floor His breath came hard, and deep and loud He broke into a snore. And thus he sat—his wilted form Crouched in a kitchen chair His number tens on the pantry shelf His greatness vanished there. B. B. ’18. 22
