I'm going to make it thrilling, crisp and short, In purest diction drest, with gems of thought So intermingled with the story's warp and woof, That from beginning I can scarcely keep aloof.

I'll put quotation marks to shrive me of the sin Of plagiarism when such language I begin-- That every one of you may plainly see I tell the story as 'twas told to me.

So calmly, coolly then, I think I will proceed To give you now the story--taking heed To curtail all that truth and justice will permit-- Remembering that "brevity's the soul of wit."

But undue haste would cause me to forget And mar the memory of its telling with regret If I had overlooked some startling fact, Which on both truth and justice would re-act!

And now, dear friends, don't think that you are "sold"

If still as yet the story's left untold-- But paper, ink, your patience, and my time Are all exhausted in this race with rhyme!
