I have worshipped gods of laughter
While other friends were toling.
What must I expect of laughter
As the moments pass uncoiling?
Gods of laughter offer nothing,
Better words remain unspoken,
After passing thru its chapel
I have left with ideals broken.
Days regretful, days remorseful,
Point at me the barren finger,
I have worshipped gods of laughter
Who were false unto their singer.
C. T. BUTLER, ’29
