"Gentle Jane was as good as gold," br To borrow a line from Mr. Gilbert; br She hated War with a hate untold, br She was a pacifistic filbert. br If you said "Perhaps"--she'd leave the hall. br You couldn't argue with her at all. br br "Teasing Tom was a very bad boy," br (Pardon my love for a good quotation). br To talk of war was his only joy, br And his single purpose was preparation. br * * * * * br And what both of these children had to say br I never knew, for I ran away.br br Franklin P.
