The Free Lance.
KICKERS.
The kickers kick because they kick,
They kick, that’s all they do.
They kick when other kickers kick,
Because they’re kickers, too.
They kick about the magazine ;
They kick, they kick; that’s all.
They never kick about the field
The pigskin in the fall.
They kick about the college teanis ;
They kick about the crew ;
They never kick themselves about
For kicking as they do.
They kick about the roast of beef ;
They kick about the steak ;
They kick about when they’re asleep;
They kick when they’re awake.
They kick about the Faculty ;
They kick about the rules;
They’d kick about if they were hanged,
These ever-kicking fools.
