192THE NORMAL ADVANCEEUGENIC LOVE SONG.Stick out your tongue, my love, and let me see
Once more its pink uncoated loveliness.
Eugenia, healthy maid, each day I blessThe hour when first you felt the pulse of me.Behold the birthday gift I bring to thee A brand-new stethescope! Ah, nothing less!But oh, my dear, it gives me great distress To see you eat hot muffins with your tea!Loved one, I know no other dame or maid Whose bony conformation equals thine!And when thine adenoids are cured next year, And my rheumatic ghosts have all been laid, Eugenia, love, the doc will make you mine But pray be careful of your diet, dear.April is the month of fools, and so we have allowed ourselves a little latitude in our choice of material. There are some serious poems among our clippings, and the last number of the Hope College Anchor opens with a very pretty bit of idealizing. But on the whole the standard of verse scarcely rises above that of the Bard of Alamo. Cant we do something?Who overcomes by force,Hath overcome but half his foe.-Milton. |
