"Underneath the Rose" from Dutch Treat Club Year Book

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.
