He wouldn't quite DO.
lie was hlled with good intentions
That were prime.
Schemes of generous dimensions
And sublime
He was always planning action
That would cause deep satisfaction,
But he toiled Il minor fraction
OF the time.
He could tell YOU in minute
How 10 score,
For his head held packed within il
Lots of lore;
He had CLEANED from countless pages
All tho teachings OF the ages.
All the wisdom that tho saScs
Penncd Of yore.
But somehow he nc'cr succeeded
For himself.
Never garnercd up the needed
Share OF pclf:
So, despite his crudition
And his educating mission.
He attained a safe position
On the shelf.
