Pass A Resolution.Or reforms are needed, Or some big achievement won, For which men have pleaded; Or there is a mighty call For an institution, That will be a boon to all___ Pass a resolution. If one has not been a shirk In the line of duty, But has always done his work, With an eye to beauty; To the sum of human weal Made his contribution, Put upon the deed this seal___ Pass a resolution. If a little popinjay, Thru some foolish boosting, Gets inordinately gay, By too lofty roosting, And needs for his swelling crown Drastic absolution, With a thump Just let him down___ Pass a resolution. Hot air now is very cheap, If old Sol's the heater; High positions bad men reap Thru the gay repeater; Do not let your feelings rile, Have a colloeution; Smoothe it over with a smile___ Pass a resolution. All our rights are trampled on By the upper classes; We are not much better than Antiquated asses; We make speeches very fine, Long on elocution, Then with countenance benign___ Pass a resolution. __J. M. Cavaness.
