THE CRIME

Phillipic

For his too religious airs.

Since the Phillips Brooks House quota

Was deficient sadly, nota

Nota bene, that our zany

The lacuna swore to fill.

As a Phillips Brooks collector,

He would badger, dun, and hector,

Till in piety, supply it he

Had done with God's good will.

Yet the steeple-dwelling pigeon,

Although steeped in high religion,

Still will flutter to the gutter

When the grain is being spread.

Now returning was our hero.

With the evening air at zero.
