from Dutch Treat Club Year Book
Underneath the Rose
by Ellis Parker Butler

Clarence Budington Kelland drawn by Leon Gordon published in 1937

Bud Kelland has a home-grown wit,
Our spoochers get a taste of it:
To talent modestly inclined
His words though witty still are kind,
He razzes them grandpapa-wise
And makes them feel important guys,
But how he loves to kick the britches
Of other important sons of notoriety.
