Victoria University College Carnival, 1914
Terrible Pic
Terrible Pic.
Salamanca Male Quartet.
Once there lived a mathematician,
Terrible Pic they called him;
Fired he was with a heavenly mission—
Nothng on earth appalled him.
A great reforming light was Pic,
A fearless .soul and free;
He was a "Christian heretic"—
Whatever that may be.
He did not care a straw,
Regent Cigarettes Have No Equal.
Regent Cigarettes in Beautiful Vest Pocket Tins.
What the populace thought;
Yet their caprice is law
On the Te-en-nis Court.
How was our Pie
Suddenly changed!
Was it a trick?
Was it arranged?
Ah!!!
He we thought so high and proud,
Despising Mrs. Grundy,
Pandered to the vulgar crowd,
And closed the court on Sunday.
He would let us play:
He didn't give a damn*
On any other day
But Sunday.
A day a damn,
A damn a day (till tired).
"He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one." —King Henry.
