< 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!
