ooo y of nally and- ety and said. I's ates Giant Killer By Elmer Davis. | The John Day Company Kixe Davin, rightly understood, Was deep in guile, says Elmer Davis, But as a soldier, not so good, Though as a bard, a rara avis. Goliath tripped and bumped his head And died, astoundingly compliant; So David took his scalp and said, “Twas I that killed the lousy giant!” And after that, whatever kind Of danger seemed about to floor him, This redhaired fraud would always find Some dupe to slay his giants for him. Thus, Joab led the martial throngs That trod his foes beneath their bro- gans, While David merely gave them songs And High Ideals and ringing slogans. His love for Jonathan and Saul, His care for those that bore the battle, His rugged chivalry, were all But so much propagandist prattle. A selfish, heartless, faithless knave And double-dealing politician Who always took but never gave, He had no laudable ambition. A blood-bespattered throne he won And left it, not the least bit cleaner, To Solomon, the worthy son Of such a father, even meaner. This well-wrought tale of song and prayer, Of clansmen rude and combats messy, Of hates and loves, is less than fair To valiant David, son of Jesse. Arthur Guiterman.
