When you hear a startling tale,
Like to Jonah and the whale,
You will utter without fail,
That's the limit"
You are told Of something new
That most startling things will do,
And you give a srornful Pooh!
That's the li:nit!"
IT'S the common human way
Things that puzzle us to fay,
While, with sneers and iibes, we say,
That's the limit"

Has to mighty triumph turned.
Pretty soon we will have learned
There's no limit.
