A BIT OF LEAVEN
By N. P. j.
LINES TO A KING AND
QUEEN

On you, Oh, proud and regal
pair,
| gaze in silent contemplation,
AS cold, serene, and free from
care,
You hold unframed your
naughty station.
No quaking throne imperils you
No restless subjects rage and
riot;
No Bolshevistic bowls pursue,
Nor roaring guns assail your
quiet.
No ebb and flow of world finance
Can sweep from you your
standing mighty.
No keen usurper scorn your
glance;
No lovers bold or maidens
flighty.
But from your habits dull, alas
May social needs and aims pre-
serve us!
Oh, royal mummies under glass,
You're too wrapped up III
clothes for service!
