PIE HEAD 18 'ie ,n()st popular and the best loved member of the
Chicago Press Club. Several years ago this organization of brilliant
newspaper men and distinguished authors gave a banquet in honor of
Mr. Read. To respond to the toast "Opie Read," the banquet committee selected
the well-known poet, Wallace Bruce Amsbary, who had been intimately associated
with Mr. Read upon the lycsum platform.
In responding to the toast, Mr. Amsbary offered the following origi
nal poem, written in the dialect of the French-Canadian:
Dts language Anglaise dat dey spe'k.
On itate of Illinois,
Is hard for Frenchman heem to learn.
It give me much annoy.
Las' wek ma frien, MeGoverane,
He come to me an' say,
You mak a toas' on Opie Read
Wen dey geeve gran' banquay.
I mak' a toas'? Not on your life.
Dat man's wan frien of me.
Wat for 1 warm heem op lak' toas?
De reason I can't see.
An' den John laugh out on hees eye
Wen he is tome say:
To mak a toas' is not a roas
Its jus' de odder way.
Dat's how I learn dat foas an' roas'
Is call by different name,
Dough bot' are warm in dere own way,
Dere far from mean de same.
An' so, ma frien', in lof I clasp
Your gr'ad beeg brawny han'(
An share vit' you in fellowship
An' pay you on deman
You're built upon a ver' large plan,
Overe seex feet you rise;
You need it all to shelter in
Your heart dat's double size.
You are too broad for narrow t'ings.
Too gran' for any creed.
I'll eat de roas' but drink de toas
To ma frien', Opie Read.
