Nye and Riley's Wit and Humor — His Crazy-Bone

His Crazy-Bone The man that struck his crazy-bone, All suddenly jerked up one foot And hopped three vivid hops, and put His elbow straight before him--then Flashed white as pallid Parian stone, And clinched his eyes, and hopped again.

He spake no word--he made no moan-- He muttered no invective--but Just gripped his eyelids tighter shut, And as the world whizzed past him then, He only knew his crazy-bone Was stricken--so--he hopped again.
