The BaIIado of Pot Boilers.

We have no time to strive for fame.
Ours is a craft where one must grind
necessarily to fan the flame
That boils the pot that feeds our kind.
Yet in each head a seet hing mind
Composed of thoughts quaint fancy toilers
There gropes IA genius that is blind.
A toast to you, my gay pot boilersl
Posterity we cannot claim.
To but the hour we are confined.
Unsought by fortune, tickle dame,
Her meager crumbs we search to find
Taste of her fruits naught but the rind.
Yet do we scott at care, we toiors,
For in our hearts mirth sits enshrined.
A toast to you, my gay pot boilers!
What care we for an empty name
Since fame" means merely "to be
signedf"
What care We if our verse be lame
And josts return with Thanks, de-
clinedy"
For US the pretzel was designed,
And frankfurts good as chicken broilers,
Though sometimes we subsist ON wind.
A toast to you,my gay pot boilersi
L'ENvoI.
On Pegs broad back we've ne'er reclined.
He hips his tail at US despoilers.
But some day We'll catch ON behind
A toast TO you, my gay pot boilers!
