Is this, dear—more’s the pity—
You’re summering in the mountains,
I’m simmering in the city!
[Ogden Ward
THE FIVE DOUBLE U’S
Winsomeness, wardrobe, words of eloquence,
Wisdom, and wealth, bring men to consequence.
That’s something which a man in vain pursues
Who is not blest with these five w’s.[1]
