Upon Julia's Arctics

by Bert Leston Taylor

Bert Leston Taylor

When as galoshed my Julia goes,
Unbuckled all from top to toes,
How swift the poem becometh prose!
And when I cast mine eyes and see
Those arctics flopping each way free,
Oh, how that flopping floppeth me!

    The Procession
    by Henry Livingston, Jr.
    The legislators pass along A solemn, self-important throng! Just raised from the common mass, They feel themselves another class. --But let them in the sunshine play For every dog must have his day.
