To Master Frederick Longman
Herlies, 1914.
This year our book for Christmas varies,
Deals not with history nor fairies,
(I can't help thinking, children, you
Prefer a book which is not true)
We leave these intellectual feasts,
To talk of fishes, birds, and beasts.
These—though his aim is scarcely steady—
These are, I think, a theme for Freddy!
Trout, though he is not up to fly,
He soon will catch—as well as I!
So Freddy, take this artless rhyme
And be a sportsman in your time!
