Though I'm Anything But Clever, I Could

What Though I Cannot Meet My Bills? What Though I Suffer Toothache's Ills? What Though I Swallow Countless Pills?

Roll On, Thou Ball, Roll On! Through Pathless Realms Of Space, Roll On!

If I Can Wheedle A Knife Or A Needle, Why Not A Silver Churn?

I'm Very Good At Integral And Differential Calculus, I Know The Scientific Names Of Beings Animalculous; In Short, In Matters Vegetable, Animal, And Mineral, I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-general.

Things Are Seldom What They Seem.
