THE STEW IMMORTAL
Tho following, from a Wellington boy .(a son of Mr. William Foster, headmaster of Petono Main School), oaps appreciation withi recrimination:— 0, Trentham, you're far distant Across tho silvered sea, But still of nights I think Of what you mean to me. . . . I think of tree-clad hill tops All golden in the sun, Of , drowsing mountains sun-kist When day was nearly done; I think of a' swift river A-shining liko a sword, And boys across it swimmingGood swimmors 'fore the Lord. And, Trentham, I remember The glamour of those nights When we went forth in armour To town.,and its delights. Although I know these pleasures Elßowhcre on Earth you'll find, These things will ever linger 0 Trentham, in my mind. But all theso things, 0 ■ Trentham, Can hardly be called new, ' Men will forget ... In time to come .You'll fade away from view . . . But stay!! There's this remaining— We must give you your due— . Who could forget—o d it,—' YOUR DARNED IMMORTAL STEW! —Laurence Foster, N.Z.F.A., 11th Reinforcements.
