There was a young lady from Natchez
Whose garments were always in patchez;
When comment arose
On the state of her clothes,
She drawled, "When Ah itchez, Ah scratchez."
This is why I will never even place in the limerick contest. But this I willingly confess: that it likes me much better when I find virtue in a fair lodging than when I am bound to seek it in an ill-favored creature, like a pearl in a dunghill.
