Chapter 105 105

You, Bob, are rather insolent, you know

At being disappointed in your wish

To supersede all warblers here below,

And be the only blackbird in the dish;

And then you overstrain yourself, or so,

And tumble downward like the flying fish

Gasping on deck, because you soar too high, Bob,

And fall, for lack of moisture quite a-dry, Bo

             
            

you_might_like

Between the Lines.
