The perversities
                           Of nature would go
                               Forever unguessed
                           Had not perversely
                           It made one able
                               To know all the rest.







                        Stave the last dance for me


                  Bright monkeys clad in gay apparel

                  Stave off boredom in a barrel;
                  But when their wearing wassail palls,

                  They’ll scrape the bottom—of the falls!






                            Richter’s Rules of Order
                                The chair may object
                              To entertaining

                              Motions from the floor,

                              But it will soon be
                              Dancing to that tune.
