QUESTION by LE BARON COOKE

First Line: ALL MORNING LONG
Last Line: IN SONG?
Subject(s): SPARROWS; YOUTH;
All morning long
A young sparrow
Chirping on the window-ledge
Of my office
Has distracted me from the column
Of figures
It is my task to add . . .

Why is it that I,
A clear-headed young man,
Devoting my life
To debits and credits,
Am confused
By anything as aimless
As a bird
Wasting its life
In @3song?@1
