Show 104___________________________________U. of U. Chronicle Year Book"I speak not a word, I breathe not a sigh. And you'd best do likewise when I'm coming; nigh, For if some tale of love I by chance interrupt. Your proposal, I fear, would be slightly abrupt.So if you desire to wed, maiden dear.Some studious Art, or a gay Engineer,I advise you to seek a more calm, sheltered spot ,Or the life of a spinster will fall to your lot."Then speak not a word, and breathe not a sigh, Although you consider the 'goblins' a lie, There's a fact that no 'varsity student can doubt, Miss Wilkinson will catch you 'if you don't watch out.'LOUIS SECKLES -"I never have longed for a flying machineTo soar through the ether blue : I never have wept for an automobileWith a tooter and goggles new.But down in the depths of my soul how I yearnFor one thing that never has been, A thing which no Engineer yet has devisedOut of iron, or platinum, or tin ;"A thing that will measure a stretch most immense-A distance that nobody knows. I want a machine that will measure the lengthFrom my hat to the end of my toes!"PERCY GODDARD -"When I was just a little boy,. And used to trot to school. My mamma taught me how to smile According to a rule."And now that I'm a great big manI keep my winning smile, And since I'm leader of the Arts,It glistens for a mile."It always makes my heart so glad.My smile it is immense! And then to make me more complete,I have such lovely sense!"I think there's no one in the worldHas half such darling ways, For when my smile has once arrived,It stays, and stays, and stays!" |
