The Pessimist
(By WaJt ±\l;>.M>n j "A dog sat out 111 the midnight chill and hou led at tilt? beaming- moon; Jiis knowledge 01 music was strictly ni! andi it is voice wah out of tune. And lie howled and howled ais the hours went by, wliik? dodging the bricks we threw, till the moon was low in the ■western .sky, and his voire was split m two. And there wasn't- a thing at ■which to how!, over which a pup should ■weep, and the course 01 tiie tiling was wrong and; foul, for the people were ■wild to sleep. "There are plenty of men like that blamed fool hound, who yell when there's nothing wrong, disturbing tiie country with senseless sound —the pessimist's doleful eong."
