Letter To Old
Man Folks
By JIM POLLYWOG
THE MORNING
The morning looked me in the
face
And said prepare ye for a race,—
A jaggered trip towards the
night,
Be up an ’ going while ’tis
light.
I saw the morning star fade out,—
I looked with little thought or
doubt,
And found a way lain out for
me,
But I couldn’t see all the ups and
downs, «
The jaded hills and sad rebounds;
Nor the heat of day that follows
soon,
When evening takes the place of!
noon. ‘
|
Nor did I see the day’s recline, I
The vale of dust beyond the pine;!
Nor the beauty when the day is
set—
I have not finished traveling, yet.
Dear Old Man Folks:
I hope this bits o’ letters finds
you well and happy and enjoy
ing the best of all that is. I hope
too, that you find some little
something about in the bits of
verse I have fixed up for you
to cause you to stop and peep ov
er the Mountain of your next
moment. Remember I say I HOPE
THIS, and don’t we, all of we hope
for things that are not always
what we expect them to be? But
at this time you may be wonder
about how a moment could be a
Mountain—Or how a Mountain
could loom so large in a moment
as to completely hide us from
everything.’ I’ll admit there ought
to be a bit o’ explaining along
or after midnight' October 23.
Meaning, of course ,the 40-hour
week under the wage-hour law.
The present work week under the
law is 42 hours . . . The Univer
sity of Georgia owns 133 build
ings in and near Athens, accord
ing to its insurance schedule. This
does not include the Fine Arts
Building. Because the insurance
schedule lists several of the small
er buildings under one head, it is
estimated that University actual
ly owns more than 200 buildings.
EDITORIAL ODDITIES: Val
dosta’s Lowndes County News be
lieves: “Many modern Madonna’s
would carry their child by a
leach, if it were not too much trou
ble to hold the leach” . . . Cum
ming’s Forsyth County News has
reached this conclusion: “The man
whose opinion is worthless always
wants to be the spoeksman of some
kind of association” . . . Trenton’s
Dade County Times says: “It takes
more backbone to keep from sign
ing a fool petition than it does to
keep from going security on a poor
note” . . . The Summerville News
makes this noteworthy compari
son: “Advertising is like fishing;
you must use the right bait at the
right place and at the right time
to expect results” . . . The Pel
ham Journal declares: “There’s one
thing aviators have on the rest of
us—they never worry about cross
ing bridges before they get to
them” . . . The Darien Gazette
deducting: “Poverty isn't a dis
grace nowadays. It means freedom
from a checkup by income tax ex
perts.”

here—but I wont try it—I am
writing this little piece to people
who have lived, loved and tried
Life’s Avenue to Places. I find
that when we talk to those peo
ples we needn’t have near so
much to say. Life is a picture, a
stage, and mostly within a feel
ing. We look away and see the
stage all set. We see the mountain
of the Moment. We can see but
one side of the mountain of the
Moment, but . . . but we can feel
to the top of it and about its
farthest sides—we can vision what
may be found on the yonder side,
and somehow we want to keep
traveling.
The poem says, ‘Nor did I see
the day’s recline; the vale of dust
beyond the pine.’ I have need to
call in some doctor of SOME
THING, to help me explain just
what is meant by this: It's won
derful floating in deep water til
the weight of somthing sinks
down the floating object ... So
often that object is we, and so
often do we feel the weight
that something, and so often do we
wonder just what it can be, I may
find an opening, though—a way
to pass further on—by saling

sometimes see the dust of the
evening as clouds of gold—in
which we see a last rainbow! But
what are words when we so hum
'bly try to paint feelings with
them? When we undertake this
we need to call in the professors,
yea, the doctors of professors; ev
en then they might confuse us.
All that I have tried to say,
so far, is but reason to prove that
there is somthing better, farther
on—That we are permitted to
have visions of it now, and even
to touch the beauty frings sur
passing its edges with our littlest
finger. We are even permitted to
taste with our hearts that som
thing! But the touch of the taste
that we sometimes feel applies so
gently and tenderly to our hearts,
can not be described with words.
The nearest thing to explaining
this touch is, A SOUL FULL OF
LAUGHTER, MIXED ABOUT
HALF AND HALF WITH AP
PRECIATION TEARS.
Then we might stop again with
there is something better, farther
Long enough to ask ourselves,
what all those visions are for;
why the touches so beautiful? No
professor nor doctor of ’em need
tell us what we know about this—
they too, are wondering in a Won
derland of their own, and like the
rest of we, they nearly know what
it is all about. GOD FEEDS US
A LITTLE HERE IN ORDER
THAT HE MAY TEMPT US
HOME TO HIS TABLE. Then
each touch is a taste and each
taste is a touch and we KNOW
THERE IS A HEAVEN AND A
GOD and that He loves all of us.
