The Dead Ones.

The poets of these later days have
cold feet all the time; for people read
their soulful lays. and cry: What rot
ten rhyme. Why can't they write as
Byron wrote, and hit the heights OF
song? They strike a harsh and Earring
note-the changing of gong" This
Byron, in his lusty prime, made some
thing Of a hit; yet critics who perused
his rhyme declared it counterfeit. His
song" they said, gives us a pain, 9
dry pain in the neck; it's just such stuff
as Laura Jean win write when she's OF
deck. Why can't he get his harp OF
straight, and do the job in style? Why
cant he strike the Shakespeare gait
and sing a song worth while?' And
when the Bard of AVIAN smote the harI
that had no peer, folks said: The
bleating of a goat sounds sweeter tC
the ear. When Chaucer wrote, hi!
rhymes had sense, and when he came
to bat. he knocked the ball cleaI
through the fence, and scored, you be
your hat And thus it was when Ho
mer wrought. and piled his fountain
pen and ground out epics smoking hot
they jumped upon him then. They tol'
him of some CRASHED Greek, who's
wickiup was near. who wrote more Ho
Stuff in a week than he could in year
