Here you will find the Poem When I am articled of poet Lesbia Harford
When I am articled The Law decrees I shall devote my time To stating fees And learning about Actions Suits and Courts. Then Deeds and Briefs and Grants Must fill my thoughts. While if a naughty Little verse should find Its way into a corner Of my mind I must not tell the chap For whom I work. He pays the penalty If I should shirk And take to writing books And verse instead Of 'hereinafter', 'duly', 'Viz', 'the said'.
