Dear Fred8

     TJhlalonn to the poliao
With the oonnivause of Bevier,
I helped myself to your valise
And Bonned a lot of your old gear.
I wore your par&r, I woke your boots,
I wore your oversort a8 wellj
And while I do not give two hoot6
For lookr, I certainly looked swell.

Fond mamar looked at me askance;
Drew their muohaahas to the fold;
Yosquit;oes left thelr#lu1 hants
And sought proteotion in the weld.
The tiokr and redbugr cooked thei.r beak6
8n blade of grass and pendant bough3
Blnttted monftory rqueaks
And oriadt*1Re%e got old Soper now1*
I pointed out %uas only me,
I tried my d&Ug.%de6t to explain
'fhe error in identity.
lo U6e.  They bit with might and main.
I've put auay your overooat~
I'm p-king up your boots and pants;
I rather thiuk I've been the goat
And I won't take another ohauae.

But Frbd, I hope you won't ruppose
I'm up to any dirty tricks
If you should find among your clothes
A bunoh of redbugr and some tiakrt
