After the Boy Prodigies.

Bring to me my large revolver and my keen Damascus blade and the rubber boots I’m used to when In gore I freely wade. Hither bring my trusty sandbag, bring the snickersee, I say, for my day has come for murder and I’m going forth to slay. I shall go forth to the like a bridegroom to his joys, and I’ll fill the nean est graveyard with a string of gifted boys. I shall brain the boy attorney with a spasm of delight, and the boy who preaches Sundays, he shall fall before my might. On the trail of boy physicians gaily, gladly shall I camp; let the boy pianist tremble when they hear my roaring tramp. When I strike the boyish statesman he must say his prayers and die; when the boy reportei meets me mark ye how the far shall fly. For I’m weary and disgusted an 4 my mind has lost its poise, I have read such beastly twaddle treating of the gifted boys.
