The Poets Column
A LITTLE POEM
BY Frank Monroe Beverley


BY Frank Monroe Beverley
I'll write a little poem
For readers scarce of time,
And if the pep is lacking
1t shall be full of rhyme.
Don't cast aside this poem,
Then say you have no time,
For if you miss the pepper,
You shouldn't miss the rhyme.
This makes the trio stanza,
A monoglytic chime;
It has no salt nor pepper,
But doesn't lack for rhyme.
This is the closing stanza--
I've wasted all my time
Inditing and composing,
And trying to make it rhyme.
BONNYWICKET, Aug. &c. 1923.
