“I’m glad to hear it,” his listener said:
“I always did hate those Bostonians so!”
Well, last week on a City Atlas ’bus
The Professor and I went riding down,
While the driver politely gave to us
Opinions on things about the town.
And finding my friend was “prone to receive,”
And came from the Western land afar,
He told him just what one ought to believe
In politics, piety, love, and war.
