FABLES FOR THE FRIVOLOUS

"I'll never," he cried, in tones complaining,
"Try entertaining
That rat again."

It's easy to make a memorandum
About the moral these verses teach:
De gustibus non est disputandum;
The meaning of which Etruscan speech
Is wheresoever you're hunger quelling
Pray keep your dwelling
In easy reach.
