The cunning serpent in the park

One day was feeling rather hollow,

So took his brother for a lark,

Or, just as likely, for a swallow.

"Good day, good deed;"—when simpler method fails

(Thus thought the proud Bashaw of many TAILS),

That teacher sure will mend the slowest dunce,

Who uses NINE quick reasons all at once.
