We are tn ok, We are thin;
We are large, we are small.
We are used in college
And we are used in hall.
We are made of wool silk or leather,
OF all these things made up together
Theyoung and wild, when dressing, say
They like us small, and thin and gay.
But age and infancy more wise,
Prefer US Of proper size.
\ OF cultivation we are sign,
While barbarians seldom on Us shine.
But underns ath this western sky,
few 10 do without US try.
