By One Who Did Not Practice
* What He Is Preaching
*****•*•*•********•
Oh, Mister Gateway Editor, could you
kindly take a hint
Eliminate the jingles and never, nevei
print
A bunch of words so meaningless,
when of sense there's not a sign
The folks in other cities sure will
think we’re assinine.
Although our poet laureate no longer
lurks in town
There’s still a lot of mummies that
some one ought to drown
l do not mean to be severe, in fact it’s
rather mild
To say those cursed jingles sound like
written by a child
If >'ou can’t find else to fill your sheet
just leave a lot of blanks
And*all the sourdoughs around will
give to you their thanks.
