Victoria College Students' Carnival. Thursday 29th June 1905

"Song of the Kaleidoscope."

"Song of the Kaleidoscope."

To perpetuate a name, to preserve a queenly fame,
We some time since were "founded" —in an Act,
And tho' no doubt 'tis true, we're "kept steadily in view,"
We haven't much advanced beyond that fact.
Still we've struggled and we'ye fought, and defeat has mattered nought
If we've snatched a hard won Victory now and then,
If we haven't bricks and mortar, and many things we "oughter,"
There is no one will deny we have the men.

You can give no points to Froggy, tho' his knees are somewhat groggy,
You should see him lift his shoulders at the finish of a mile;
Granted that his logic's hazy, on the "line out" he's a daisy,
Ake! Ake! Kia! Toa! Come! "Good old Freddy, smile!"

"Here, with a cup that's stored to the brim." —Pericles.
