"My proper name<br>Is Tibbets - " "Tibbets?" "Aye, the same."<br>"Why, then YOU'RE NOT THE PARTY!" </div><div style="margin:10px 0">With that he struck the board a blow<br>That shivered half the glasses.<br>"Why couldn't you have told me so<br>Three quarters of an hour ago,<br>You prince of all the asses? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"To walk four miles through mud and rain,<br>To spend the night in smoking,<br>And then to find that it's in vain -<br>And I've to do it all again -<br>It's really TOO provoking! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Don't talk!" he cried, as I began<br>To mutter some excuse.<br>"Who can have patience with a man<br>That's got no more discretion than<br>An idiotic goose? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"To keep me waiting here, instead<br>Of telling me at once<br>That this was not the house!" he said.<br>"There, that'll do - be off to bed!<br>Don't gape like that, you dunce!" </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"It's very fine to throw the blame<br>On ME in such a fashion!<br>Why didn't you enquire my name<br>The very minute that you came?"<br>I answered in a passion. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Of course it worries you a bit<br>To come so far on foot -<br>But how was I to blame for it?"<br>"Well, well!" said he. "I must admit<br>That isn't badly put. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"And certainly you've given me<br>The best of wine and victual -<br>Excuse my violence," said he,<br>"But accidents like this, you see,<br>They put one out a little. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"'Twas MY fault after all, I find -<br>Shake hands, old Turnip-top!"<br>The name was hardly to my mind,<br>But, as no doubt he meant it kind,<br>I let the matter drop. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Good-night, old Turnip-top, good-night!<br>When I am gone, perhaps<br>They'll send you some inferior Sprite,<br>Who'll keep you in a constant fright<br>And spoil your soundest naps. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Tell him you'll stand no sort of trick;<br>Then, if he leers and chuckles,<br>You just be handy with a stick<br>(Mind that it's pretty hard and thick)<br>And rap him on the knuckles! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Then carelessly remark 'Old coon!<br>Perhaps you're not aware<br>That, if you don't behave, you'll soon<br>Be chuckling to another tune -<br>And so you'd best take care!' </div><div style="margin:10px 0">"That's the right way to cure a Sprite<br>Of such like goings-on -<br>But gracious me! It's getting light!<br>Good-night, old Turnip-top, good-night!"<br>A nod, and he was gone.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Lewis+Carroll">Lewis Carroll</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=447668" data-title="Phantasmagoria CANTO VI ( Dyscomfyture ) de Lewis Carroll" data-description="As one who strives a hill to climb, Who never climbed before: Who finds it, in a little time, Grow every moment less sublime, And votes the thing a bore: Yet, having once begun to try, Dares not desert his quest, But, climbing, ever keeps his ey..."></div> </div> </div>
