More Truth
Than Poetry
By James J. Montague

WE CANNOT SING THE OLD
SONGS.
When poets praised the amber
draught
Whose depths were bright with
bubbles beaded.
Before they wrote they always quaf-
fed
The inspiration that they needed.
To write of blushful Hippocrene
The gentle Johnny Keats was
able.
Because he used TO keep-we ween-
A bottle on his writing table
And after getting nicely lit
Small task it was TO sing of it,
The most robustuous dinner song
That chanted the delights of
drinking
And stirred an incandescent throng
To set their crystal glasses clink-
ing.
Was written by some TOPPING poet
Who with the brew had freely
mingled:
No stuff like that he ever wrote
Except when he was nicely
jingled.
No man could sing the joys Of
thirst
Excepting when he had one FIRST.
And therefore pop and ginger ale
VIII have no harp 10 hymn their
praises:
no bards iced lemonade viii hail.
With glowing words and lifting
phrases.
Although perchance "a man may
