THE CITY OF GOSH AS GLUG BLAMED GLUG "AND NOW," SAID THE TEACHER . . . O'ER THE PROPHECY PORED QUOG TOOK THE CHAIR ON THE ROYAL DOOR-MAT TAKING THE AIR

Let him who is minded to meet with a Glug
Pluck three hardy hairs from a rabbit-skin rug;
Blow one to the South, and one to the West,
Then burn another and swallow the rest.
And who shall explain 'tis the talk of a fool,
He's a Glug! He's a Glug of the old Gosh school!
And he'll climb a tree, if the East wind blows,
In a casual way, just to show he knows . . .
Now, tickle his toes!
Oh, tickle his toes!
And don't blame me if you come to blows.

--OLD GOSH RHYME
