Verdant
Not satisfied yet? Want to see the young ladies?
(Continued from former issue.)
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 25, 1889
And to hear a recital whose tone and whose grade is
Of kindlier spirit; a more delicate vein
Not marred by the strife and the haughty
disdain
Which characterizes the other refrain?
Well I must say, Young Verdant, you're certainly curious.
But yet I confees 'tis a treat to allure us.
So now Madameoselles, if you'l please condescend
To grant us the favor and so far unbend
As to satisfy the desire of our friend
And the grace of your person and intel,
leet lend
To—you will? then here Verdant, attend!

You think so? Dear me, pity!

And tl—— look askance,

As I might if we only were fewer;
For we've the "precisely prim young creature"
And the girl "who makes music a feature"
And a queer kind of "nui Who considers it fun
To sit a la Henry Ward Beecher.
And ever so many other kinds, cause they're so many of us. We've every imaginable class from Sally Doesenback from Way back to Miss Vere d4 Vere from Topeka. And we are the coming Frat of the school, cause they're so many of us. And we
naturally beat them all "rushing" this fall, cause they're so many of us. And then they're so many of us—
We were what you might designate "bloomers."
When we were young and quite numerous

But now ower us dissolution is stealing,
This blood in our veins night congealing
But you can let your whole stack
What in this way we lack
We were up on our muscle
In a style that made rivalry humorous.
And could get out and hustle
Now what do I think? well, just about this.
Is made up by our awful big feelings.

Their sisters' short-comings and various fallings.
