Some respect for our intelligence was shown;

And it’s hard for us to cotton

To the fact that you’ve forgotten

More than we have ever known!

O my Children, do you hear your elders snoring,

When the “chassis” of your motors you discuss?

Do you wonder that your “shop” is rather boring

To such simple souls as us?[1]

Do you marvel that your dreary conversation

Should evoke the yawns that “lie too deep for tears,”
