Now for the witticisms cheap,
That sting with knat-bite power:
The sentence based on hasty peep,
And visit of an hour:
Bewildered boobies (nine in ten)
Admire our sportive way:
Uprouse ye then, my men of merry pen,
It is the Opening Day.
Who heeds the painter’s saddened brow,
The wolf he keeps from door,
