BUREAUCRATIC LITANY
_
Hark ye! And there dwelt in the land a wild people.
Weareth they neither stiff collars and kid gloves, but
dresseth like unto the savage tribes that came over from
the land of the Yukonites. Shoe pacs, overalls and jump
er weareth they. And they lived a nomadic life, doing bat
tle against the gentle brown bear and the gwreet-voiced
wolverine albeit the frolicsome black bear. Even this did
they. And lumberjacks they found in plenty; they that
dwelt in the waters which they had dammed. Sayeth the
Yukonites we like it not, for verily we wadeth to our neck
where they dammeth up the creeks; they baeketh the wa
ter into our bedrock drains, and maketh it difficult to
scrape a pinch of change from the earth with which to pay
for our grubstake and the taxes the king doth take of our
income. Whereupon there riseth among them an evil
spirit. Even like Belzebub is he. And he sayeth unto
them: ‘Hark ye how the lumberjack cluttereth up the
works; he bringeth down woe upon our heads. I counsel
thee to gird thy loins and maketh war upon him lest we
returneth unto our people not bearing treasure for the
king.”
Whereupon they riseth in their might, and swatteth |
the lumberjack hip and thigh. Even them swatteth they j
thus: And taketh they of the meat, and they them did eat,
and sayeth “it beateth salt bacon; albeit ’tis good eatin’s.”
And lo, cometh the keener of the king’s game pre
serves and seeth he the evil they doeth; findeth he a lum
berjack’s pelt naileth to a tree. Findeth he even this. And I
he admonisheth them thus: “Knowest thou not thou shalt
not slay the lumberjack; that if thou must have him get
hence from thy claim thou shouldst lay aside thy work
while thou trampest 100 miles, when thou tellest me that
I may watch thee while thou swatteth; that thou shalt de
liver the lumberjack’s pelt to me properly stretched and
dried that I may lay up treasure for the kina:—and like
wise to make sure of my pinch of change for being set as
ruler over thee. Inasmuch as ye doeth this not, thou com
est with me to the whosegough, where thou languisheth
while the blood-letting Beheemoth kiketh the walls out of
thy cabin, eateth of thy provender, walk away with thy
raiment and rippeth up thy blankets.”
