UNDER TWO FLAGS, by JULIET WILBOR TOMPKINS First Line: It's all very well Last Line: If tom were at harvard, or will went to yale! Subject(s): Harvard University; Vassar College; Yale University | |||
IT'S all very well For a boy, who can yell For his own special college through all, without fail. How can I be true To the red or the blue, When Will is at Harvard, and Tom is at Yale? When one comes to call, I must stop in the hall To see that his pin's in a prominent place. They're both on the crew, And I'm all in a stew, For I'm pledged as a mascot for both in the race! Dear Will's such a swell, And he dresses so well, (Tom says that he puts on a great deal of dog), His tenor is fine And his waltzing divine. But you ought to see Tom do his skirt-dance and clog! It's all very well For a boy, who can yell For his own special college through all, without fail. Why, I'd gladly be true To the red or the blue, If Tom were at Harvard, or Will went to Yale! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLADE OF MYSELF AND MONSIEUR RABELAIS by LEONARD BACON (1887-1954) THE BALLADE OF THE GOLDEN HORN by LEONARD BACON (1887-1954) DEATH AND THE MONK by ARTHUR E.
