You've a magpie heap in your . garret (That garret you call your brain), A regular muck df outworn truck, A rubbishy mess, that's plain; A welter of dead convictions; Of prejudice, doubt, dismay, That help to blind and to clog your mind Why don't you chuck 'em away? Why don't you clean up your garret, Cease aping the magpie bird, And thus be free as a man should be Of all this clutter absurd? Get rid of the old-time notions And load up the ashman's dray With the rummage vast of an outgrown past, And chuck it chuck it away! o D What insect frequents -district Schools? The Spelling bee.
