The Simple Stuff

Author: Franklin P. Adams [More Titles by Adams]

AD PUERUM"
Horace: Book I, Ode 32.

Persicos odi, puer, apparatus."


Nix on the Persian pretence!
Myrtle for Quintus H. Flaccus!
Wreaths of the linden tree, hence!
Nix on the Persian pretence!
Waiter, here's seventy cents--
Come, let me celebrate Bacchus!
Nix on the Persian pretence!
Myrtle for Quintus H. Flaccus.
