So we say, bad morals are bad, and good, good.

The reason the subject by you is not understood,

Is, that while you must surely know,

You constantly misapply to ethics one word as you go.

The meaning of this word if you don’t get,

Is from stupidity, for you never yet

Went into a store anything to buy or even try,

But a practical demonstration was before your eye.

The first thing you ask about a razor or knife,

Is this, “Is it good?” and the clerk doesn’t cry,
