BE CAREFUL.
TO PARSONS—AND SPRING POETS. (With Apologies). If your parson takes to rhyming, And his rhymes are rather out And make you feel a sinking In the region where you're stout, Just smile and try sincerely, To forgive him as you "ought," For although he is a parson Remember he's a spawt—sport. Though o'er metric feet he stumbles. Still his sentiment is right. And although a little slangy, I am ;?ure that you will quite Agree that only ladies Of the most fastidious "sort" Would ever "wag their tongues" about A parson who's spawrt—sport. Well, boys; always keep on smiling, And be cheerful through it all. "Mistakes run on for age 9"— Wise men profit by the fall Of those they see around them. And are never, never "caught" Attempting such atrocious rhyme 9 As "naught," or "caught" with gpaut—sport. —Nemo.
