Universe III Mrs. Japher found a wafer which she stuck upon a note; This she took and gave the cook; then she went and bought a boat Which she paddled down the stream, shouting, “Ice produces cream! Beer, when churned, produces butter! Henceforth all the words I utter Distant ages thus shall note: From the Japher wisdom boat!” Mrs. Japher said, “It’s safer, when you’ve lemons in your head, First to eat a pound of meat, then to go at once to bed. Eating meat is half the battle, till you hear those lemons rattle; If you don’t, you’ll always moan in a lemoncholy tone, For there’s nothing half so dreadful as lemons
in your head!” |
