HERMIONE, THE DEATHLESS


She will not die!—in Brainstorm Slum
Fake, Nut and Freak Psychologist
Eternally shall buzz and hum,
And Spook and Swami keep their tryst
With Thinkers in a Mental Mist.
You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
Out of the Silences, I wist,

The lips of Patter ne'er are dumb,
The Futile Mills shall grind their grist
Of sand from now till Kingdom Come;
The Winds of Bunk are never whist.
You scowl and shake an honest fist—
You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
Go slay one Pseudo-Scientist,
More Little Groups will rise tomorrow!


With Fudge to feed the Hungry Bum
She plays the Girl Philanthropist—
