Smith, R. Cadwallader

"Cap and Gown A Treasury of College Verse"


Ye fates! to-night propitious be,
For I approach divinity:
My life depends on "Yes" or "No."
MODERN.
Stunning girl,
Out of sight.
Guess I'll pop
Tuesday night.
Bully shape,
Pretty eyes;
Papa's rich,
Quite a prize.
Sure to have me,
Can't say no;
Lots of rocks--
It's a go.
R. L. RAYMOND.
_Harvard Lampoon_.

~Nightmare Of A Freshman Sign Swiper.~
He turned and tossed upon his bed,
Repose he could not find,
For all night long such things as these
Kept coursing through his mind.
"Keep off the Grass," and "Beer on Draught,"
"H-O," and "Pyle's Pearline;"
"Look out for paint," and "Use Pear's Soap,"
Were signs which he had seen.
And in the midst of all of these
A demon seemed to dance,
Who asked him with a fiendish grin,
"I say, 'Do you wear pants?'"
W.D. FLAGG.
_Harvard Lampoon_.

~What the Wild Waves Said.~
Do you hear the ocean moaning,
Ever moaning sad and low?
'Tis because that fat old bather
Stepped upon its undertow.
_University Herald_.

~A Decision.~
As a maid so nice,
With step precise,
Tripped o'er the ice,
She slipped; her care in vain.
And at the fall,
With usual gall,
The schoolboys call,
"Third down; two feet to gain."
ARTHUR LLEWELLYN ENO.
_Brunonian_.
