== Impressions of Feldkirch on a New Boy ==

<poem>
After "The Buckingham dragoon"

When the play ground I first had beheld-held 
With slobbering foreigners full. 
I thought "what a strange place is Feld-Feld
The glorious Feld-kirchian school.

I saw them all in the house then-then, 
And each of them wearing a hat. 
They're a strange set, I thought, in the pen-pen
The Feldkirchian pen-sionât

Each German I met was a tell-tell
a telltale or else was a fool. 
They are rum ones, I thought, in the Fel-Fel
The famous Fel-kirchian school.

A chap, just as big as most men-men,
Turned out a most terrible brat. 
And the brats were all men in the pen-pen 
The Feldkirchian pen-sionât.

But I'll sell you no more of the foll-foll,
The folly they always are at.
You may see it yourselves in this coll-coll
This college or pen-sionât.
