SONNET.

SONNET.
upon seeing a dead pig, victim of motor
car, a country road.)
Poor little porker, lying in the road,
Upon thy snout red and CORY stain,
Fair target of some motorists disdaln-
Thou'rt gone to pigdoms heavenly abode.
No longer will thy piggish grunts and squeals
Come echoing from the nearby pasture where
Thy mates and thee. untouched by any care,
Were wont to root, and run and show thy heels.
Wee little grunter, thou vert ne'er designed
For such a fate; the gods did not intend
That thou shouldst suffer such ignoDle end -.
And yet can this consolation find:
No butcher within Frisco or New York
Make glorious sausage of this son of Pork!
1T is our intention to clip the last line of
the foregoing sonnet and ~fle it among the
