• Short story

								
    A man may avoid the Nin-com-poop
    By flying fast and far.
    And even subdue the Scalawag
    By stratagems of war.

    And he even may dodge the Fly-up-the-Creek
    If he's lucky and does not fear;
    And sometimes conquer the powerful chump.
    Though the victory cost him dear.

    And a brave man may do up the Galoot,
    Though it be a terrible fight,
    But no man yet has escaped from the clutch
    Of the terrible Blatherskite.
