Protected, open, plain,
Without my tail I’m flat;
I’m round curtailed again;
Again, you have me pat.
No. XCIII.—A DISLOCATED CIRCLE
Study this quaint figure carefully, and try to discover how it can be divided into two pieces, so that these can be reunited to form a perfect circle.
78. A LOGOGRIPH
When all are gay this holds the sway,
But take a letter out,
That change of fare is ruling there,
You see, without a doubt.
Behead me twice; it is not nice
To have this in your skin;
Lop head and tail, and find a nail
Or tack to drive it in.
Behind his right, and in your sight
A little word you find;
But you will never make it out,
Though it is in your mind.
