A wonderful power has the hyphen small.
Like a ohain-shot fired at the social
wall:
For nothing and nothing make ali-in-all.
When you join the two with hyphen.
You don't need money. you don't need
sense.
To be a person OF consequence:
You go 20 the top OF the tallest fence
IL you spell your name with hyphen.
Now Brown is a man you might neglect.
And Jones Is held In no more respect;
But Brown Jones stands among the elect.
For he spells his name with hyphen.
And when he takes as his lawful mate
Miss Robinson Smith. II is safe 10 state
That the Robinson Smith Brown -Joneses
are great.
In a double degree OF hyphen.
on. the one-em dash hath virtue bold
More potent than pedigree or gold
For making the newest OF families Old
The all ennobling hyphen!
