The RAPE of the CONFERENCE CHAIR
An HEROI-COMICAL P O E M
What dire Offence from one's Dismissal springs,
What mighty Contests rise from spreadsheet Things,
I sing — This verse to Samuel, Muse! is due;
This, even Bridgford may vouchsafe to view:
Slight is the subject, but not so the praise,
If she inspire, and he approve my lays.
SSay what strange motive, Goddess! could possess
A well-bred Board to sack a Poetess?
Oh say what stranger cause, yet unexplored,
Could make a gentle Poet slam a Board?
And dwells such Rage in dulcet Bosoms then?
And lodge such daring Souls in little Men?
