Living

The Re-echo Club: as by Rudyard Kipling (Paste-pot and Ink)

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From The Re-echo Club

Living

Here is a theme that is worthy of our cognizance,
A theme of great importance and a question for your ken;
Would you rather--stop and think well--
Dip your paste-brush in your ink-well,
Or in your pesky pasting-pot immerse your inky pen?
