'Tis what is called Scissors and Paste,

The paper's poor, the print's infernal.

But what of that, when, week by week,

High at the sight of it hope rises?

What in my Magazine I seek

Is just—a medium for Prizes!

I can't be bothered to read much,

I like my literature in snippets.

My hope is, with good luck, to clutch

Villas, gold watches, sable tippets.
