LITTLE Georgie Tompers, he Printed some fine cards for me; But his press had "J" for @3James@1 -- By no means the choice of names. -- Yet it's proper, none the less, That his little printing-press Should be taught that @3James@1 for "J" Always is the better way. For, if left to its own whim, Next time it might call me "Jim," -- Then THE CULTURED PRESS would be Shocked at such a liberty. Therefore, little presses all Should be trained, while they are small, To develop @3taste@1 in these Truths that shape our destinies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAR IS KIND: 1 by STEPHEN CRANE TO LUCASTA, [ON] GOING TO THE WARS by RICHARD LOVELACE MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 4 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ALAS! by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS I DREAM I'M LEAVING by MARGARET AHO DEATHLESS LOVE by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
