Of all the ill fated	A
Boys ever created	B
Young Jack was the wretchedest lad	C
An emphatic erratic	D
Dogmatic fanatic	D
Was foisted upon him as dad	C
From the time he could walk	E
And before he could talk	E
His wearisome training began	F
On a highly barbarian	G
Disciplinarian	G
Nearly Tartarean	G
Plan	G
	-
He taught him some Raleigh	H
And some of Macaulay	H
Till all of Horatius he knew	G
And the drastic sarcastic	D
Fantastic scholastic	D
Philippics of Junius too	G
He made him learn lots	I
Of the poems of Watts	I
And frequently said he ignored	J
On principle any son's	K
Title to benisons	K
Till he'd learned Tennyson's	K
Maud	L
	-
For these are the giants	K
Of thought and of science	K
He said in his positive way	M
So weigh them obey them	N
Display them and lay them	N
To heart in your infancy's day	M
Jack made no reply	O
But he said on the sly	O
An eloquent word that had come	P
From a quite indefensible	Q
Most reprehensible	Q
But indispensable	Q
Chum	P
	-
By the time he was twenty	H
Jack had such a plenty	H
Of books and paternal advice	K
Though seedy and needy	H
Indeed he was greedy	H
For vengeance whatever the price	K
In the editor's seat	R
Of a critical sheet	R
He found the revenge that he sought	S
And with sterling appliance of	T
Mind wrote defiance of	T
All of the giants of	T
Thought	S
	-
He'd thunder and grumble	Q
At high and at humble	Q
Until he became in a while	U
Mordacious pugnacious	K
Rapacious Good gracious	K
They called him the Yankee Carlyle	U
But he never took rest	V
On his quarrelsome quest	V
Of the giants both mighty and small	W
He slated distorted them	N
Hanged them and quartered them	N
Till he had slaughtered them	N
All	W
	-
	-
And this is The Moral that lies in the verse	K
If you have a go farther you're apt to fare worse	K
When you turn it around it is different rather	X
You're not apt to go worse if you have a fair father	X
