      Copyright, June, 1919.

      By Frank R. Heine.

      "Many people read a song

      Who will not read a sermon."

      Foreword

      Pegasus is a queer old nag, and many of his would-be riders find him most unruly. We mount him and are off for a wee nip of Hippocrene. We want him to lazy along like a plough horse, while we pluck daisies, but he insists on demonstrating that, like a Hambletonian, he has all of the High School gaits. And when we pass the Queen's carriage, expecting him to step stately and look like a million dollars, the old plug stumbles and limps, and is classed by all as a casual. So please, please blame the horse—and not the rider.

      Dedication

      To the boys who have found the old War Horse a dangerous animal, have come to cropper in the Big Muss, and are now assigned to bunk fatigue, we offer these rhymes. Though, they are crippled; and limp, and halt, and stumble at times—yet we trust they may, for all that, break through when General Monotony is entertaining a company of Blue Devils, and for a few moments, at least, put to rout serious and somber thoughts.

      To the casuals now enjoying hospital hospitality at Kenilworth (Biltmore) and Oteen (Azalea), this jumble of rhymes is dedicated.

      Pick it up, Buddy, it's a dud.

      —F. R. H.

      THE JUMBLE BOOK OF RHYMES

      Greetings

      A New Year Greeting in which the Jumbler hopes to meet you soon.

      My wish most dear for your New Year

      I'm quite sincere in giving;

      When next we meet, on Easy Street

      I hope that you'll be living.

      P. S.—And I hope I meet you soon.

      Introspection

      The old nag, Pegasus, invites the Jumbler to an introspective mood as he lopes along. It is Thanksgiving, 1917.

      Am I thankful?

      Let-me-see—

      World, Flesh, Devil

      Good to me;

      Friends still loyal,

      Coin in banks—

      Stop this minute!

      I'll give thanks.

      What of troubles

      Lately past?

      Well, at least they

      Didn't last.

      Not a single

      Scar remains,

      Nor remembrance

      Of the pains.

      So, I'm thinking

      That from me

      There is due great

      Gobs of glee.

      Though a slacker,

      From this day

      I'll be grateful—

      Let us Pray!

      An Acknowledgment

      (From Him to Her).

      The receipt of a gift he cannot label leads the Jumbler to recite:

      I thank you for the hickeydee,

      The thingamabob you sent;

      The trickamadoo's the very thing

      On which my heart was bent.

      The dofunny's style and color

      Puts all dodads to shame;
