I <br /> <br />I do not hold with him who thinks <br />The world is jonahed by a jinx; <br />That everything is sad and sour, <br />And life a withered hothouse flower. <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />I hate the Polyanna pest <br />Who says that All Is for the Best, <br />And hold in high, unhidden scorn <br />Who sees the Rose, nor feels the Thorn. <br /> <br />III <br /> <br />I do not like extremists who <br />Are like the pair in (I) and (II); <br />But how I hate the wabbly gink, <br />Like me, who knows not what to think!<br /><br />Franklin P.
