And the ultimatums fly,

And the tom-toms are a-beating

A defy;

When it’s raining gall and bitters—

You may think it is a pipe

To erect a Tower of Titters

With a lot of lines o’ type,

To be whimsical and wheezy,

Full of { quip and quirk and quiz.
quibbles queer and quaint.

Do you fancy that is easy?
