A curse on this miserly system
Of limitless burdensome fees,
For acids and stinks
And ever clogged sinks.
Must we pay such extortions as these ?
Ol heavens that bend above us,
List to the “ Lab’s ” retort.
And moneyed trustees,
Just do if you please,
Give us all relief of some sort.
For it’s twenty-five dollars for 11 Lab.”
And a “fiver” or “tenner” to boot,
For filters and tubes
To buy the young " Rubes.”
’Tis a “ confidence,” " bunco ’’-like loot.
