OLD FRIENDS

AS down the slope a pilgrim wends,
where every bramble scores him. he rather
breads to meet old friends-their conver-
sation bores him. Few gaze upon him
and exclaim: "You're looking hunky-
dory! You have the same old stalwart
frame, your locks are far from hoary!
Your step is bold, your back uncurved,
you still are spry and handy; you GER
tainly are well preserved, you surely are
dandy!" Few talk in such pleasant
strain when on the pike they meet you.
"And so you're bald" they grimly say,
"who once had raven tresses; and your
complexion, sallow-gray, your breaking
up confesses. And you are bent, oh Gaf-
fer Jones, you're doped with pills and To-
tion; we hear the creaking of your
bones when they are set in motion.
When last we saw you, years ago, you
were the living wonder, and you could
lay the fighters low, and pin the wrestlers
under. You hobble DER the paving stones,
your face is most forbidding; your knees
are spawned CATER Jones, your feet are
always skidding." The pilgrim, in his
weary walk, would have no old friends
present, for that's the way old comrades talk,
and it's way unpleasant-Wat Mason.
