Tn tbe stairs, I'D the stairs,
Up to the skylight,
Came young graduate
All in the twilight.
Gosh? how my legs do ache!
These stairs will take the cake"
Up to the editors room
Climbed the third-baSeman.
He is at last on top,
Only too glad TO stop
And rest his weary limbs
On plush sofa.
His not TO reason why,
His but TO get up high,
His but to keep his eye
Peeled for reporters.
He went into q room,
Where, in the gathering gloom,
Sat a man writing.

Latin and Greek I've read.
I'd to the editors desk
Stepped the ex-senior.
Flashed the good club in air,
ON the young head so bare
Gathered and Numbered
Gently they took him out,
He has gone up the spout,
Nobody blundered.
