NONSENSE, by                    
First Line: A little nonsense, now and then
Last Line: And call it nonsense, call it chaff?
Subject(s): Laughter; Nonsense


"A little nonsense, now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men."
For dignity must needs unbend,
Banana peels can serve this end.
'Tis better far to suffer verse,
To swallow medicine is worse.
Why not enjoy a little laugh,
And call it nonsense, call it chaff?
