"A KID, A KID"

The well known nursery favorite, the
"House That Jack Built has it's proto-
type in sacred hymn, "A Kid. A Kid" in
mud. The following is the last and tenth
verse of the ancient mystical hymn:
'sThen came the Holy One, blessed be
He! and killed.
The Angel of Death,
That killed the butcher,
That slew the OK,
That drank the water,
That quenched the fire,
That burned the staff.

That bit the cat,
That ate the kid,
That my father bought,
For ten pieces Of money,

device to conceal ignorance and inexact
thought rather than a proof of superior
knowledge.
