GROSBEAKS By Walter B. Wolfe Beat it, you evening grosbeaks, you yellow- Beat it, you yellow grosbeaks, chattering in the tamaracks behind the Medical School, for windows. are open now in the Physiology laboratory and your noisy love-making interferes with the solemn disquisitions of Dr. Stewart. Beat it, you winter birds, we are dreaming of summer! Away to the north, you animated yellow polka-dots in the somber black bow tie of winter! Don't you see boardwalks across campus river-paths? Furry pussywillows popping their grey heads out of brown winter stocking-caps? Beat it, you northloving grosbeaks, haven't you heard galoshes flop-flop-flopping in thaw puddles? Back to Alaska, Klondike, Manitoba, back to the high Sierras and Rockies, you black and orange migrators from far norths! Down on Lebanon Street where there is a bit of brown earth, kids are dropping pink and white chinies into the ring, laying up the aggies at long awse and short awse crying, "Knucks down! Screwbony tight!" Beat it you evening grosbeaks, you yellow cold-defiants! Through closed windows we have heard you all winter playing at hide-and-seek among the pine branches, chattering in the tamaracks! Come again next year to winter behind the Medical School, but now we expect fat redbreasts and pirate blue-jays. Beat it you yellow-feathered gossips, lest the dandelions shame your color, for spring is coming to Hanover! MOSES J. WENTWORTH Moses J.
