J.K.S.

“ That the rudder gets mixed with the bowsprit at sea,
⁠Or that birds can be salted in glue.
"The third is his manner of making a jest,
⁠Which is quite and entirely his own,
And he seeks after witty remarks with a zest
⁠That might find the philosopher's stone.
"The fourth is the way that he sticks to a word,
⁠Such as beamish, galumph, and the rest,
Which he thinks is amusing as well as absurd,
⁠An opinion I beg to contest.
"The fifth is pure folly. ”
