On Looking into Waring’s Pennsylvanians (Poem)

Oh, Waring– Where is the Glee in thy Club? Whither the simple delight of thy old Victors, Spun and radiated at seventy-eight revolutions? Yes, we were Collegiate– Well, you know College Boys; Degree in hand, It is time to start punching that cash register Like a Swiss Bell Ringer. Whence the glory of Glorianna, Glowing with the heat of a thousand suns? Keep away from that implosion When well-shav'd youth Chant hypnotically of Amber Waves of Grain. I would macerate that grain for ferment That it may be decanted into That Stein Upon the Table– A beer to weep into To mourn lost 'Twenties joy– Alas and shellac.[ad_dropper zone_id="1100"][ad_dropper zone_id="914"][ad_dropper zone_id="1088"][ad_dropper zone_id="1126"]
