Old Time's busy hand has made free with my hair,
And I'm seeking to hide it—by writing for bays!
[A TRUE STORY.]
Of all our pains, since man was curst,
I mean of body, not the mental,
To name the worst, among the worst,
The dental sure is transcendental;
Some bit of masticating bone,
That ought to help to clear a shelf,
But lets its proper work alone,
