<h3><SPAN name="THE_TWO_BOBBIES" name="THE_TWO_BOBBIES"></SPAN>THE TWO BOBBIES.</h3>
<p>Bobbie Burns and Bobbie Browning,
<br/>They're the boys I'd like to see.
<br/>Though I'm not the boy for Bobbie,
<br/>Bobbie is the boy for me!
<br/>
<br/>Bobbie Browning was the good boy;
<br/>Turned the language inside out,
<br/>Wrote his plays and had his days,
<br/>Died—and held his peace, no doubt.
<br/>
<br/>Poor North Bobbie was the bad boy,—
<br/>Bad, bad, bad, bad Bobbie Burns!
<br/>Loved and made the world his lover,
<br/>Kissed and barleycomed by turns.
<br/>
<br/>London's dweller, child of wisdom,
<br/>Kept his counsel, took his toll;
<br/>Ayrshire's vagrant paid the piper,
<br/>Lost the game—God save his soul!
<br/>
<br/>Bobbie Burns and Bobbie Browning,
<br/>What's the difference, you see?
<br/>Bob the lover, Bob the lawyer;
<br/>Bobbie is the boy for me!</p>
