LIKED a subject that was deep and found a wondrous pleasure In analyzing matters that would vex an old pro- fessor ; He hugged his books and instruments (they were his greatest treasure) And studied nature's secrets till he was their glad possessor. A formula in physics or a chart in navigation Impelled him to exhibit an intense enthusiasm ; A complex syllogism he would view with great elation, Although in you or me it would induce a mental spasm, He found the mysteries of life quite easy of solution, And cosmogonic problems always drove away all sadness ; A matter that was difficult made strong his constitution, And he waxed fat on questions that would drive us into madness, Che small things, though, upset him—thus the grocer always bored him And never could he understand the butcher's ear- nest pleadings ; The coal-account he could not solve, the gas-bills nearly H floored him, So always was he dragged through supplementary proceedings !
