Can things be sharp if things are dull?
Can things be empty if things are full?
Can red be white on blue sunny days bright?
Or darkness be lit if there isn't any light?
Can squares be round when silence has sound?
Or an ounce be weighty when it doesn't make a pound?
Stop scratching your head in wonderment!
This is no time for "yonder tent!"
Here is where we ought to start!
Not back there in Mr. Yawrley's yard!
When are you going to come to your senses!
I know, I know, -- "...when verbs are used in their proper tenses."
OK, all right, have it your way: --
We'll begin again come next Tuesday;
But until then, don't forget what I said:
Your feet ar'n't concordant if they're filled with lead,
Whether or not you go out on a limb
For them, us, her, it, or him.
