In Other Words

Ah! How I flounder in mad inconclusiveness!
Mad is this quinquepedalian verbosity.
“Comfort?” Great heavings! What mad perdiffusiveness—
Look at me here in complete comatosity!


To Gelett Burgess

I never saw a Sulphite. No,
I never hope to see one;
I am acquiring brain fag, though,
Endeavoring to be one.
