St Leger: False Gallop
Because I sometimes snavender,
Not too severely snub
His setting right the clavender,
His teaching all the club!
Farewell to peaceful pavender,
My river-dreaming pub,
To bed as sweet as lavender,
To homely, wholesome gravender,
And you, inspiring chavender,
StufTd chavender, or chub.
W. ST LEGER
THE CHILD IS FATHER TO THE MAN
'The child is father to the man.'
How can he be? The words are wild.
Suck any sense from that who can:
4 The child is father to the man.'
No; what the poet did write ran,
'The man is father to the child/
'The child is father to the man!'
How can he be? The words are wild.

CRAZY ARITHMETIC
4 in 2 goes twice as fast,
If 2 and 4 change places;
But how can 2 and 3 make four,
If 3 and 2 make faces?
