LOGIC
- 'Tis strange, but true, that a common cat
- Has got ten tails, — just think of that!
- Don't see it, eh? The fact is plain:
- To prove it so I rise t'explain.
- We say a cat has but one tail:
- Behold how logic lifts the veil!
- No cat has nine tails: don't you see
- One cat has one tail more than she ?
- Now add the one tail to the nine,
- You'll find a full ten-tailed feline.
- As Holmes has said, in his "One-Horse Shay,"
- Logic is logic; that's all I say.
