Knox: The Everlasting Percy<br />

And hear the mowers mowing hay,<br />

And smell the great sea far away!<br />

And always keeping—cars be blowed!—<br />

Well on the wrong side of the road,<br />

And never heeding hoots nor warners,<br />

Especially around the corners,<br />

For even down the steepest hill<br />

Redemption saves me from a spill.<br />

I have a flapper on the carrier<br />

And some day I am going to marry her.<br />

E. v. KNOX<br />

ON BUNGALOID GROWTH<br />

When England's multitudes observed with frowns<br />

That those who came before had spoiled the towns,<br />

'This can no longer be endured' they cried,<br />

And set to work to spoil the countryside.<br />

HEAD AND HEART<br />

I put my hand upon my heart<br />

And swore that we should never part—<br />

I wonder what I should have said<br />

If I had put it on my head.<br />

COMMUTERS<br />

COMMUTER—one who spends his life<br />

In riding to and from his wife;<br />

A man who shaves and takes a train<br />

And then rides back to shave again.<br />
