POET(?) AGAIN HEARD FROM
rex" Takes Another Slam at the
Incubator Editor.

"Rex" Takes Another Slam at the
Incubator Editor.
Willmar, U. S. A., June S, 1915.
Tom Phullery,
(Last week it was Fullery)
We haven't noticed any license
for changing names. We expect it
will be D. Phullery next.
In suggesting word to rhyme
with "carborator" we didn't like to
mention alligator, fearing the In
cubator Editor might think we
were getting personal, and of
course, we don't like to injure the
feelings of people, or editors either.
The Incubator Editor refers to
us as bony. When did said editor
become troubled with obesity.
We admire poetical talent in 9TH
ers but Phullery's latest is obfus-
eating, and so we emit the follow
ing:
Tom Phullery grabbed his pen one
day,
And at some poetry blazed away,
He tried to mimic US, if you please,
For monkey does as monkey sees.

Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1915-06-09

Well sir, if we allow ourselves
to publish any more emissions from
the goose quill of the above alleg-
ed man Of letters, the Incubator
Editor might just as well change
his name from T. to D. Phullery,
first as last, and prefix a few more
initials besides:
Now this cross-grained and So
phisticated apology for a poet and
scholar throws far-fetched insinua-
tons about our being of the ALI
gator species and in the next breath
he refers to us as Of the monkey
genus. Consistency. thou art &
whole necklace. AS matter of
fact we are no relation of his at
all. We don't even believe in the
Darwinian theory, tho we admit
that every time we see the phiz of
a certain long-legged contempor-
aneous poet our skepticism in the
said theory gets severe jolt.
Now it seems to US that a man
can refer to another as ebony"
without implying that he himself
is fat. One man can be bony and
another more bony, can't they?
But a man who'll use such word
as "obfuscating" out heIe in the
west is apt to get shot.
AS to his poetry so-called, the
less said the better. We only rise
to ask: Who ever heard of Whit
tier, Bryant or Poe having any
shads? Or if REX" meant to write
it Shades" who ever heard of
shades having bones?
Still there is some hope for our
friend. Toward the last of his ef-
fort the poetic genius CLEANS faint
ly like an oasis in the desert. There
is touch of true poetry in the last
verse where he promises us
treat. Now that isn't bad at all.
That is we hope it won't be. No
1.-TWO fers" will go, remember. On

He met her in the meadow
AS the sun was sinking low,
They strolled along together
In the sunlight's afterglow.
She waited very patiently
While he lowered all the bars.
Her bright eyes shone upon him
AS radiantly as the stars;
But she did not smile or thank him
Because she knew not how,
For he was but a farmer lad
And she a Jersey cow.
