A poem by Eugene Field

The Preference Declared

________________________________________________
Title:     The Preference Declared
Author: Eugene Field [More Titles by Field]

Boy, I detest the Persian pomp;
I hate those linden-bark devices;
And as for roses, holy Moses!
They can't be got at living prices!
Myrtle is good enough for us,--
For _you_, as bearer of my flagon;
For _me_, supine beneath this vine,
Doing my best to get a jag on!







[The end]
