- WALT MASON HEARD FROM.
(Contributed).
When 1 was young and thot I
sung a ballad worth repeating,
when still my chin was smooth
►mid thin without the Van Dyke
4neeting, a fresh young guy (I
thot I’d die. to see his pale en
deavor) attempted then to sling
the pen and quiet me forever.
He stole my style and for a while
attempted to dilate on a base
ball game and other tame things
idle sports debate on. I stood
the gaff about a half a year or
so, be japers, and then turned in
and from his skin I made some
tissue papers. I scattered then
with deadly pen that cheap
6port’s high ambition, and as he
went, his glory spent, into the
fields lelysian, they .heard him
sigh in passing by, “I’m sorry
that 1 tried it; for when the
stuff is in the rough, it’s pretly
hard to hide it.” Now, Shepard
wise, take my advice and sell
your penny papers; and when you
pine in rhyme to shine and cut
Walt Mason capers, stop and re
flect; do not elect to steal Apol
lo’s fire; for with this junk you
’ll get the bunk and make the
people tire. You may play ball
(you’re large and tall) but leave
the rhyme to Walt; then if he
fail to tell the tale it will not be
your fault. And Charley Lupe,
don’t be a dupe, you never were
a' poet; you’ve tried before and
each time swore, “That’s true,
I ought to know it.” Come oil
your perch, your pattern search,
and to his face admit it. Then
hunt up Shep and keep in step
till both decide to quit it. When
this is through, I’ll bid adieu re
venge and call a halt. And we’ll
be friends to bitter ends. I am
Yours truly,
WAI/f.
