  Metaphysics

  W HY and Wherefore set out one day

  To hunt for a wild Negation.

  They agreed to meet at a cool retreat

  On the Point of Interrogation.

  But the night was dark and they missed their mark,

  And, driven well-nigh to distraction,

  They lost their ways in a murky maze

  Of utter abstruse abstraction.

  Then they took a boat and were soon afloat

  On a Sea of Speculation,

  But the sea grew rough, and their boat, though tough,

  Was split into an Equation.

  As they floundered about in the Waves of Doubt

  Rose a fearful Hypothesis,

  Who gibbered with glee as they sank in the sea,

  And the last they saw was this:

  On a rock-bound Reef of Unbelief

  There sat the wild Negation;

  Then they sank once more and were washed ashore

  At the Point of Interrogation.

  A few quotes:
  
  "There is no time like the pleasant."
  
  "Manuscript: something submitted in haste and returned at leisure."
  
  "The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scots as a joke, but the Scots haven't seen the joke yet."
  
  “A woman's mind is cleaner than a man's. She changes it more often.”
  
  “Cat: a pygmy lion who loves mice, hates dogs, and patronizes human beings.”
  
  “Many are called but few get up.”
  
  “Tact is to lie about others as you would have them lie about you.”
