POETRY
R. PLAINT OF THE PLUTOCBAT. I hava bought everything I can buy 5 I have tried everything I can try; I have eaten each eatable, Beaten each beatable; I have eyed everything I can eye.
I have sold everything I can sell: I have told everything I cam tell; I have EAised all the stusable, Squeeatd all the Equeexeable, 1511 they've shelled everything they can shell.
I have ridden eaoh thing I •m ride; I have hidden eaoh thing I can hide; I have joked all the Jokable, Soaked all the soakable; have slid everywhere I can slide.
I have walked everywhere 1 can walk; I have talked everywhere I could talk; I have kissed all the kieeable, Hissed all the hissable; I have baulked everything I cm baulk.
I have crushed every one I could omsh 1 I have hushed every one I could hush; I have drunk every drinkable; Thought every thukible; I have rushed everywhere I could rush.
I have been everything I can be, And the scheme of things will not agree; I have Bpsnt all that's spendable— Still if s not endable. And I mean it's a bother to me.
