Perverted Proverbs: A Manual of Immorals for the Many — 'A Bad Workman Complains of his Tools.'

For there may come a moment when You shall be mended willy-nilly, With many more misguided men, Whose skill is undermined with skilly.

Till then procrastinate, my friend;

"It _Never_ is Too Late to Mend!"

"_A Bad Workman Complains of his Tools.

_" This Pen of mine is simply grand, I never loved a pen so much;

This Paper (underneath my hand) Is really a delight to touch;

And never in my life, I think, Did I make use of finer ink.

The Subject upon which I write Is everything that I could choose;

I seldom knew my Wits more bright, More cosmopolitan my Views;

Nor ever did my Head contain So surplus a supply of Brain!
