Milquetoast
Here's to the lads with the shoulder pads . . .
All hail to the muscular brutes . . .
Here's to the figure that ain't any bigger . ..
Though filling a much larger suit!

This
is one of my early poetic efforts when in school at Hanover . . . men's
suits were coming out with padding in the shoulders and I had to express
myself, I guess. I submitted it to Hill Thoughts, the official
literary magazine of Hanover College, but the faculty advisor for the publication
returned it to me without comment, and looked at me with jaundiced eye
from that point forward . . . probably backward, too. bill |
