of what they did. To which is added a complex and elaborate description
of what they didn't. Containing also the exultant record of their
memorable success in eventually obtaining, each and every one, a sight
of the entire and unadulterated animal, from the primitive hair on his
attenuated proboscis, to the last kink of his symmetrical tail.

I, Q. K. P. DOESTICKS, of No Hall, Nowhere;
No Castle, no Villa, no Place, Court, or Terrace;
Who didn't write "Junius," or "Nothing to Wear,"
Who never have visited London or Paris;
Who am not a phantom, a myth, or a mystery,
But a "homo," as solid as any of history;
As real as Antony, Caesar, or Brutus,--
A wide-awake Yankee, so "tarnation 'cute" as
To always write Nothings, while Nothings will pay,
Am the author of this Nothing--Nothing to Say.
