pondered. Bereft of several friends,
on the highway to the poor house,
mauled in features and sad at heart
we reflected upon the telling of the
truth too permiscuously.
After mature reflection we grasped
truth by the hand in fond farewell
and are now addicted to the grossest
exaggeration. Anybody hereafter
who places any confidence in what we
say does so at his peril.
