COLLEGE VERSE
A CITY MISSIONARY.
I work among all classes;
I elevate the masses,
In lifting them to higher planes,
I all my time employ.
Yet don't think I'm professing
To be a perfect blessing,
You see it'd in my business;
I'm an elevator boy.—Ex.
TRIOI,ET.
All I said was " goodbye "
At the end of the summer;
With a bit of a sigh
All I said was "goodbye,"
You have flirted, thought I,
With every new-corner.
All I said was "goodbye"
At the end of the summer.
A POSTUR ROMANCE
She posed within a poster gown
Beneath a poster tree;
A poster background wiggled down
Into a poster sea.
I mustered up a poster smile,
And said: "Oh queerest lass,
If you decide it worth your while
Our troth shall come to pass."
She viewed me with a poster frown
And cried: "It cannot be—
Von have no weird, grotesque renown—
Too plain you are for me."
I wildly dashed upon my wheel;
I scorched it here•and there,
Collided, spilled, and with a squeal
I heard my garments tear.
All mud and blood and rags I rode
To her who did me fling;
She dropped upon my neck and sighed;
"Ah, now you're just the thing."
—Morningside.
