< A Moral Alphabet

My little victim, let me trouble you

To fix your active mind on

W

The WATERBEETLE here shall teach

A sermon far beyond your reach:

He flabbergasts the Human Race

By gliding on the water's face

With ease, celerity, and grace;

But if he ever stopped to think

Of how he did it, he would sink.


MORAL:


Don't ask Questions!
