Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL| Dear Bruner once we had a little talk | A |
| That is to say 'twas I did all the talking | B |
| About the manner of your moral walk | A |

| Your crooked course more recently is not | D |
| So blamable for truly you have stumbled | E |
| On evil days and 'tis your luckless lot | D |
| To traverse spaces with a spirit humbled | E |
| Contrite dejected and divinely sad | F |
| Where 'tis confessed the walking's rather bad | F |

| Jordan the song says is a road I thought | G |
| It was a river that is hard to travel | H |
| And Dublin if you'd find it must be sought | G |
| Along a highway with more rocks than gravel | H |
| In difficulty neither can compete | I |
| With that wherein you navigate your feet | I |
| - | |
| As once George Gorham said of Pixley so | J |
| I say of you 'The prison yawns before you | K |
| The turnkey stalks behind ' Now will you go | J |
| Or lag and let that functionary floor you | K |
| To change the metaphor you seem to be | L |
| Between Judge Wallace and the deep deep sea | L |
