BORES.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

OF tunnels I don't mean to write,

Although I think perhaps I might

Say something of the Mont Cenis

Or Hoosac Tunnel that should be

Not out of place. By bores I mean

Those of the genus homo, seen

In every quarter of the earth;

And though there were of all else dearth,

I'm sure you 'd run across some bores

On all the peopled mundane shores.

At college, too, they will crop out,

And at all times they stalk about;

And though they somewhat younger are

Than those in other spots we meet,

Their youth and freshness don't debar
