-inside massachusetts-

the fact is

I don't remember studying 

anything in school

but later on

studying something in Boston

I had this peculiar hankerin’

to meet

a young woman from way

out west.

Mount Holyoke.

she studies at

Mount Holyoke, I could say,—

the sound of it
impressing my friends

but

the closest I came to

Mount Holyoke

is when I

met a young woman
studying something at

Wellesley
way back east.
