The purse they lent and left me high and dry.
So I came back and learned the barber's trade,
And here I am. But when I save enough
I mean to start a little magazine
To show what is the matter. Do you know?
It's something on the shelf—not booze or jam:
It's that old bible, precious family bible,
That record of the Hebrew thought and life—
That book that takes a course of years to study,
Requires Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek and Coptic
