LITTLE Georgie Tompers, he Printed some fine cards for me; But his press had "J" for @3James@1 -- By no means the choice of names. -- Yet it's proper, none the less, That his little printing-press Should be taught that @3James@1 for "J" Always is the better way. For, if left to its own whim, Next time it might call me "Jim," -- Then THE CULTURED PRESS would be Shocked at such a liberty. Therefore, little presses all Should be trained, while they are small, To develop @3taste@1 in these Truths that shape our destinies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON GEORGE HERBERT'S BOOK, THE TEMPLE, SENT TO A GENTLEWOMAN by RICHARD CRASHAW THE LOWEST PLACE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI CORTEGE FOR ROSENBLOOM by WALLACE STEVENS SONNET: 5 by RICHARD BARNFIELD THE DAWN PATROL by PAUL BEWSHER |
