Excerpt from Foregone Verses
The Other Fellow
Of all who dwell upon the earth
There"s none I wish to harm,
There"s none who seeing me approach
Need feel the least alarm;
My heart is filled with love for all,
Save one whom I detest -
But, oh, the way I hate that man
Makes up for all the rest!
I will not write his name lest he
Should chance to read my rhyme,
And learning of his danger, flit
To some far distant clime;
But just to show how he has used
Me like a canine yellow,
I"ll give some reasons why I hate
That horrid "other" fellow.
My trouble with him first began
When we were boys at school,
He always won the prizes, and
Made me appear the fool;
And then at college later on,
When reached the years more mellow,
I found the scholarships all went
To him, the "other" fellow.
When college days were o"er, and I
To find a job set out,
To my disgust I learned that he
Knew what I was about;
He"d managed to obtain the start -
By telephone came, "Hello!
I"m awfully sorry, but we"ve just
Engaged the "other" fellow."
