The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review October 1905
Students at Work
Students at Work.
The sight of the toilers on the new tennis courts has caused one of our poets to into rhyme. The Spike can only afford space for two out of the thirty-seven verses. We would advise the author to print a few copies and send one to the Professor of English to deal with:—
Pick-a-pick this the students' stroke
First a pick and then a ponder,
Makes a real live navy wonder,
Does the students' stroke.
Only ten men to one barrow,
Toilers to the very marrow,
Peeling off their hands the "caro,"
Thus do students work.
