BUREAUCRATIC LITANY
Come ye that are heavily laden with fur taken from
the wilderness and the far places where thou journeyeth
over rivers and mountains in thy crude dogsled with a
slab of bacon, a sack of flour and a hodful of beans. For
is written that ye are under suspicion of having secured
sufficient of our furs to pay off your grubstake, buy a
pair of overalls, a plug of chewing tobacco and such ex
travagances as a mouth organ. Wherefore we would
give ye the once over and if we like ye not, take unto
ourselves any skin striking our fancy and lay claim to it;
haleth the furjbuyer before the tribunal and prove by
our opinion that such fur was caught seven seconds and
a half past the hour when thou hast been ordered into
thou tents: or that thou hast transgressed our mandate
and snareth said skunk in the dark of the moon; or that
the animal which thou shalt not catch hath wandered in
to thy trap when thou wast ordered to post a notice in
said animal’s own language warning him of his dangers,
wherewith thou hast not peeled it properly before pre
senting it to thy liege lords, causing them great pertur
bation of soul when the buyer clips off 20 per centum,
none of which goeth into thy pocket, thou being thankful
we do not hang the Indian sign of Three and Three
upon you.
And wherefore it is written that thou, an alien poss
essed of a license to trap furs of a certain species, shalt
not feed thyself fresh meat taken from the ribs, brisket,
shank bone or viscera of any moose, caribou, mountain
sheep, goat, unless thou cometh a hundred miles to the
court of our liege lords, getteth thyself a pair of high-top
boots with not less than three buckles, a motion picture
machine, a package of monogrammed cigarettes made of
camel dung and hasheeth and which smelleth to heaven
in its redolence; and a safari of our selection as grub and
gun-bearers to accompany thee for slaying said animal.
And take thee this admonition; thou shalt not shoot
■and reindeer or caribou without permit from the bureau
of biological survey, for verily this is the bureau of ed
cation, and such animal must be shot in the schoolhouse,
or under Rule 2,769,411, shot north of 62, if you know
your anatomy and can pick the spot.
Mr. Gann might relieve the social tension in Wash
ington by joining Commander Byrd or going hunting in
Alaska for four years.
