CRITICISM ON CONVERSATION Oh, the clatter of matter The rattle and battle, Of fat growing fatter With tittle and tattle, Have you heard? Did I tell you? Have I something to sell you? Don't tell her I told you— Here’s one that will hold you:— Bing! Boom! and Explosion! Decay and erosion! From tadpole to table In legend and fable. Trade, trash and tradition With ne'er a decision. From uncivilized savages To sliced and boiled cabbages. The fine forms of matter With chitter and chatter. Write books and discuss them And praise them or cuss them Yet, pass those who wrote them They'll feast them or fight them. All Hail-Conversation Without reservation Long live my opinion! And give it dominion! Oe'r empire and nation Of sense and sensation. —Frank Peacock - 10-
