Social Editor Thought For Today See how paper remembers what it's told, Letter -perfect, like aspiring actor Rising to recite, whenever called, Speech of Lincoln, Socrates or Hector- Awake all hours of the -four With every answer ready on its tongue; In language fluent, versed in nature lore, Wise as the ancient, eager as the young. It won't forget the date of Waterloo. It keeps the color of Cleopatra's hair, And inap of where the Hanging Gardens grew, Shelley's defiance, Sappho's bright despair.
