STROLLS THOUGH

BY William II. Kirk

i Il
Our four-eyed friends, the scientists,
Go proving here and there.
They look for funny kinks and twists
And Natures laws they bare.
They scour the globe from Pole to Pole
And naught escapes their scope.
They take their stands in outside lands
To get the inside dope.
Some Badger scientists today
Are on an learnest search.
Among Wisconsin lakes they stray,
Inspecting pike and perch.
It is their wish to know these fish
And analyze their fins,
And classify their haunts and fry,
Their virtues and their sins.
Most Of us grope on through the mists
Most Woefully unlike
Our fOur-eyed friends the scientists,
Who study perch and pike.
We have no wish to dope out fish,
Nor list their lives or uses,
We analyze the various guys
The sporting world produces.
