“Write me as one that wants one without paying!”
The Grecian smote and vanished. The next night
He came with hockey-stick, not over light,
Holding the names of the heroic few
Who paid a year’s subscription to the Blue.
Then, adding one, he showed the youth the list,
And lo! young Muggins’ name led all the rest!
The Blue. A journal written by, and for, the scholars at Christ’s Hospital (the Bluecoat School), London.
