A WARNING.

He was just a common poet
OF the ordinary type.
Doomed to write his verse and sow n
Wheresoe' er the field vas ripe.
But one day he wrote some twaddle
With a meter like a knell,
And the thing rang in his noddle
TIL his wits began TO 4oddle
And his brain was all a-waddle,
And they put him in cell
Now he sits alone and looney
In the madhouse by the way.
And whene'er the nights are noony
He writes poetry. they say.
But his muse Is most erratic,
AS OF course 'twould have to be,
For he's foppy in the attic,
Also violently lu-nat-ic,
And a straitjacket emphatic
Is his future destiny.
Moral is, don't write Jingle
With an overcatchy rhyme.
You might make too many mingle
In the madhouse at time.
Maniacs in an asylum
Get excited IL you rile 'em,
And you cannot bake or bile 'em
In this Anticipated cline.
Just refrain from all the meters
That go galloping along,
And the jolly one that teters
Like q hushaby low song.
Strike a measure sorter mOpey-
Such a one. wen say, as mine.
Let her wander, limp and lopey,
Serpent-ine-ish-ly and ropey,
Till you've got your rhythm dopey-
Or else quietly resign.
