those Nature Students.


Those Mature Students.
They're out again. those learned folks,
Who study iowers, who stady r0eks,
And rise at dawn Ia strsll shout
On what they're pleased to call "biF,t-walksin
While common mortals gase In awe
And 10 distance safe withdraw.
They and a daisy nodilng fair
And run iss family history through.
hehearse It's cousins, uncles. aunts
And toss the poor thing down 10 you.
To name its petals Tor relief
To "rieh man, poor man, beggar man, thief"
They hammer eohhle stones to bits
And nnd occasion as they whack
Fur words that rumhle through their mouths
Like freight trairs coming down the track
While you, instead Of that strange talk,
Woaid much prefer they'd heaye rock.
They cover you with shame whenyeu
Acknowledge with a wretched sigh
You're not acquainted much with birds
But think a scarecrOw doesn't ny.
Alack alas they make you feel
Like angleworm crushed meath the heel
They're out again. those learned folks,
Who study bowers, who study rocks.
As forth they fare ON nature walks;
Since eyes on sky, they stroll around
Or run, Ike dogs, With nose 10 ground.
