Oh, pen, when in the old time school-house we
Strove, 'neath our teacher's rod, to master thee,
And twisting down upon some sad old desk,
With doleful air and attitude grotesque,
And with protruding tongue and beating heart
Took our first lesson in the graphic art,
And that old copy on the paper poured,
Saying, "The pen is mightier than the sword,"
And then from sudden and dynamic stroke,
The pen we leaned on into fragments broke,
Some angel told our inexperienced youth,
That, after all, that copy told the truth.
