Dear Tweediedan: Intention

Has long been mine to mention

My soul to you in terms of classic verse;

But much has chanced; concerning

The social life and learning

Of our fair town (S.B. Reports, and worse);

I long to know how greatly

Things local, smart and stately,

Your mind with awe and wonderment impress,

(Oh, say not, that you murmur,

With satire growing firmer-

What length of tail our feline doth possess!''),

I find my poor brain, feeding

On daily news; is leading

My simple mind in paths of tragie mist;

Until it leaves me wondering

If, in old-fashioned blundering,

We err in even thinking we exist!

་

I leave these notions “rational (1)" For something grandly national,--- What joy to find a tale of Hallowe'en 1 That haggis, braw and solemn, Was worthy many a column (With mention of its liquid friend between) !

To seek another story-

Oh, how unfair is: Glory !---

If I should find my office toil a bore,

And gently seek seclusion, No headlines' sweet effusion

H

Would cheer me, ne with magnates of the law.

..

And if, in reverence lacking,

I ventured softly cracking"

One inch of glass in Halls of Legal Fame,

No pride would smile, indulgent,

But even pomp effulgent

Buat yield its power when Britain plays The Game

Ah, Tweedledam, I fear me

(The truth is hovering near me),

This mortal life is strained and contrarie;

To fair Fanling, week-ending. My pensive musings blending With sport, I'll try Thine ever,

TWEEDLEDEE.
