Ten days ago Jack came with us to Savary Having comparatively few enemies I'm told. But Jackie was wanton with his brushes! And his pencil was a weapon keen & bold. Some say it was the red coat that did it, Sweet Savary air could not inflame him so! At any rate - it was at last decided That Jackie and his pictures had to go. Now the ship sails quietly off from Savary And its occupants smile wisely as they say - "Neath the cross- Gainst the skyline - In the Meadows I wonder whom Jack's cartooning today." |
