ENIGMA .
I Declare It's No Use, It's So Frightful...
I declare it ' s no use , it ' s so frightfully hot ; I ' ve tried to compose , but I really can not . I ' m all of a fume—and those bluebottle flies , To say nothing of organs—the more that one tries To get cool and collect one ' s half liquefied senses ,
The hotter one feels . Chemists say cold condenses—I ' ve tried putting ice on the top of the head—It only aches more . I wish I was dead—There ' s that horrible devil ( the printer ' s , I mean ) He Sitting v ' - waiting »» grinning for — , . ** I know copy " , — just the behind Editor ' the s furious large screen : ;
His ___ stock . of bad language A # ( old , crusted , and -- curious --- ) Is exhausted , like me . I really can ' t think—In this weather one ought to do nothing but drink . A Charade ? or Enigma ? I must make up some one—In the state that I ' m in ' twill be rather a rum one .
I can ' t get a word—I can ' t find a rhyme ^—And I know that my copy will not be in time . Some classical theme ? I ' ve forgot my Mythology ; Some Scriptural subject ? I ' m bad at Theology ; T — hen something o historical ? much I fear History *
For me , now at least , has the charm of a mystery . What on earth shall I do ? I ' m really , I am , In a regular—bother ! without any sham I feel that I—yes , I'll end where I begin : The enigma you'll solve if you guess what I'm in . Answer to the Last Charade—Pie-Crust .
