Some of the Poems That Helped to Max
His Reputation,

Some of the Poems That Helped to Make
His Reputation.
THE BOTTLE AND THE BIRD
Once on time friend Of mine prevailed on
me to go
To see the dazzling splendors of sinful ballet
show,
And after we had reveled in the saltatory sights
We sought neighboring cafe for more tangi-
BILE delights,
he preferred,
He quoth, "a large cold bottle and small
hot Bird
Fool that was, I did not know what anguish
hidden lies
Within the moroccan that allures the nostrils
and the eyes,
There is glorious candor in an honest quart
A certain inspiration which cannot well de-
How it bubblesi How it sparkles How its
gurgling seems to say:
"Come On a tide of rapture let me float your
soul awayl''
But the crispy, steaming mouthful that is
spread upon your plate
How it discounts human sapience and satirizes
fatel
You wouldn't think thing so small could
cause the pains and aches
That certainly accrue to him that Of that thing
partakes.
To me at least, q guileless wight, it never once
occurred
What horror was encompassed in that small
Oh, what head had on me when awoke
next dayl
And what firm conviction of intestinal decayl
What seas Of mineral water and of bromide
applied
cd insidel
And, oh, the thousand solemn awful oaths I
plighted then
Never to tax my system with small hot bird
againl
The doctor seemed to doubt that birds could
worry people SO.
But bless him, since ate the bird guess
ought to know!
The aciduous condition of my stomach so he
said,
Bespoke vinous irritant that amplifed my
And, ergo, the causation Of the thing, as he in
ferred,
Was the large cold BOTTLE not the small hot
OF course know it wasn't, and I'm sure you'll
say I'm right
If ever it has been your won't to train around
at night.
How sweet is retrospection when ones heart
is bathed in wine,
And before its balmy breath how do the ills Of
life decline!
How the gracious juices drown what griefs
would vex mortal breast
And float the fattered soul into the port Of
dreamless rest!
But you, 0 noxious, pygmy birdl Whether it
be you fly
Or paddle in the stagnant pools that swelter-
ing, fostering lie,
/ curse you and your evil kind for that you do
me wrong,
Engendering poisons that corrupt my petted
muse of song -.
Go get thee hence and never more discomfort
me or mine
fain would barter all thy brood for one
sweet draft of wine.
So hither come, o sportive youth, when fades
the telltale day,
Come hither with your fillets and your wreaths
and posies gay.
We shall unloose the fragrant seas Of seething,
frothing wine
Which now the cobwebbed glass and envious
wire and cork confine,
And midst the pleasing revelry the praises
shall be heard
OF the large cold bottle, not the small hot bird
