Classic Poem

SENATOR BORAH'S SONG

The thought of war I do abhor
With feelings strong and fervent.
And any plan to end it can
Attract your humble servant.
'Tis true I hate a superstate.
The League? Why, I detest it!
But I'll endorse a plan or course
Provided I suggest it.

I disapprove of any move
Resembling an alliance.
I'll not support a league or a court,
I view them with defiance.
I care not for the cannon's roar.
In fact, I rather dread it;
So any scheme is good, I deem,
For which I get the credit.

I must regret my views are met
With approbation scanty,
And oftentime folks say that I'm
Congenitally anti.
But I'll not cease to strive for peace
While toiling down life's highway;
Yes, I'm the man for any plan —
Provided that it's my way.
