BURTON RASCOE

 

 

Before each tarradiddle,
Uncowed by sciolists,
Robuster persons twiddle
Tremendously big fists.

 

“ Our gods are good,” they tell us ;
“ Nor will our gods defer
Remission of rude fellows’
Ability to err.”

So this, your JURGEN, travels
Content to compromise
Ordainments none unravels
Explicitly . . . and sighs.
