Those Annual Bills - Poem By Mark Twain
These annual bills! these annual bills!--- Gives of an illusion of how adults are child like in
How many a song their discord trills---- their own way.
Of 'truck' consumed, enjoyed, forgot,
Since I was skinned by last year's lot!---- Mark Twain makes it seem as if those who this poem pertains to are regretting the loss of there childhoods and the oncoming responsibilities that they took on as they became adults.
Those joyous beans are passed away; ------Is trying to say as you grow older the child in
Those onions blithe, O where are they?-----you goes away.
Once loved, lost, mourned-now vexing ILLS
Your shades troop back in annual bills!
And so 'twill be when I'm aground
These yearly duns will still go round,
While other bards, with frantic quills,
Shall damn and damn these annual bills!
