1850

Mention the strange interest among these others
In what is not interesting in the least and you find
Yourself at a baseball game with a statistical manual
Reading the rules for search and seizure
Until the crew comes to quote you on the infield fly

Bevel the edges of the rotating gentry
And state your bad deposition into the coke can
There is a plural no man can conjugate
There is a trope no one can will

The crew, the farmers, the alibi chode
It all styles itself an abstraction
But is in fact the guest house of getting along
Which is in every case the fight averted --
It is time to have the fight.
