THE BLUE AND GOLD, '17.
"EFFECT OF THE NOTICE."
All day my mind was far away,
Somehow I was feeling blue.
I think it's because my fingers today
Wouldn't work as they used to do,
raised my eyes on the board to note
A something which the teacher wrote.
At first it gave me quite a start
And struck a terror to my heart.
The writing was plain and what I saw
Said, "Accepted copies must have no flaw."
This notice also served to warn
The typist who hands in papers torn,
My spirits sank to the lowest stage,
And there remained as in a cage.
No wonder my heart was struck with terror,
For could I typewrite without an error.
I put away my eraser brought
To erase an error, so I thought.
But that meant a flaw, so you see
That was a predicament new to me.
At last I thought it time to start
And kept my eyes right on the chart. Till it was time to go upstairs,
I found that he succeeds who dares.
