The One Interest

I went last night to see the
show, a play I've long adored
but little Eva's tale of woe just
left me feeling bored. / saw
Eliza cross the bay, but felt no
pleasant thrill, for I was think
ing of some way to can old
Kaiser Bill. And Marks, the
lawyer, hewed his gags, and
failed to make me grin; my
thoughts were all of battle flags
and swords and martial din.
I went to see the base ball game,
with cronies three or four; the
pastime's pretty much the same
as in the days of yore. But
there was little whooping done,
although the play was fine, for
we were thinking of the Hun,
of war across the brine. I knew
not which team won or lost, and
didn't seem to care, for every
thing on earth's a frost, save
doings "over there" I do not
care for printed books, for
music or for art; there's moth
ing now but war, gadzooks, that
stirs my weary heart. I do not
care for politics, for statesmen
and their spiels, for all their
foolish bag of tricks I wouldn't
give two wheels. I do not yearn
for country fairs, for picnics in
the woods; all mortal things are
fakes and snares, save war, and
it's the goods. And it alone is
worth our while, until our cause
is won, until we've canned that
thing of guile, the autocratic
Hun. WALT MASON.
