Multipede’s conclusion

           Irony’s limit does
           Not infinity meet;

           It’s the number of shoes
           Times the number of feet.


                                         The clock
                                         Watcher’s
                                         Watching
                                         Is clocked
                                         By the
                                         Clock watched.


           Someone listening carelessly,
           Thought someone else said casually,
           “Misery loves company.”
           Not at all: it was “cup of tea.”


                                         There is a lot
                                         To think about,
                                         As soon as you
                                         Have come to doubt
                                         There is nothing
                                         To think about;
                                         And this is true
                                         Turned inside out.
