WHERE?

Where, where do I check?

Get off the deck

Receive a 360 degrees neck

Then make the rotation

Let the eyes feed on the nation

There, you see a class;

A class without class;

A class, not in the class

A class at the by-pass

Not even with a pass--

An epitome of neglect

Who strive to reflect

But the sit-tight patriots

With rapacious throats

Won't allow the floats.

Where? Where do we turn?

To the garages, turn

You will see the piteous fun

Of great brains

Without academic rains

And of dying erudite grains

That could match the reigns

Of great kings.

Where? Where else?

Look, look there! --

The happy coin there

Is a sad coin here

You dance here,

You are praised;

You dance there,

You are despised--

What an irony!

A soft touch, a fresh laughter

A hard touch, a perpetual fever!

Where? Where? Where?

Up there, just look

Not by crook

But by orison of hook

That connects you to Him;

He is able to change your stain

To a great gain;

The terrible sacrilege

To a superb message;

And the arrant nonsense

To a remarkable SENSE!
