Jennie's Calendar, 1917

I've been pouring o'er my books
    O'er my Latin and my Dutch,
Oh dear to me the sight
    Of the books I love so much
    Dear the pages of my math!
    What a charm equations hath!
    I've been pouring o'er my books

I've been pouring o'er my books
    Now the long semesters done,
How they rise like dismal spooks
  Disappearing one by one
    With a lighted match I lean
    O'er the volumes, Kerosene
    I've been pouring o'er my books
Kewpie.
