    “My pen is now trite and I scarcely can write...”

    Share Share Post
    My pen is now trite
    and I scarcely can write
    No matter again I will try
    A piece for old Moore
    which I love and revere
    And will till the day I die
    Two fifths of a bird
    You are second for third
    Please mix what I do
    while I write
    Now the answer uncreen
    No ado for a solver
    so bright
