BY CAROLYN WELLS

MY Pegasus strains at his curb,

Although I have him tightly geared.

Though I protest, with speech acerb;

I cannot hold him, I’m afeard.

Oh, never has he so careered!

He’s like a bee-stung Hippodrome;

But, though his laws I’ve e’er revered,

I will not write a Cubist Pome!

To keep my seat doth me perturb;
