The Things I do not know
— —* —— My little boy at evening comes To clumber on my knee. And asks about .so many things That he bewilders me: And as Eis queries come and go, I - learn the things I do not know. Though rags and tags of many things 1 carry in my brain, To satiety his eager quest My answer* are in vain. Why follow m'Jiy in constant flow To show the things I do not know. With Smith or Jones, or Brown or James On any things i spout; They think that 1 am well-informed And gravely hear me out; Hut every night" at six or so I learn the things I do not know! »—Hamer, in the "Bulletin."
