"The more the editor tries to please,
The more they seem to grumble;
Let him stand erect or bend his knees.
He's naughty or too humble,
Growl, and grumble, and scold--
Scold, and grumble, and growl
Curses by day, and curses by night,
When he is wrong, and when he is right.
So let the grumblers grumble."
