Of clowns and kings;
It gives us books and wives
And other things—
Ambition, love and strife
And all the ills
And ecstacies of life,
And Freuds and Brills.

With these upon a stubborn field
I challenge Falsehood, Fear and Wrong;
But Laughter is my shield.

Of mastodons, are billiard balls.

Is Ferric Oxide, known as rust.

Was feared by all, is now a rug.

And I don't feel so well myself!
