Stuff and Nonsense (1927) Link to further information




Miss Clegg was accustomed to do as she wished,
     Upon Fate she was never a waiter;
And whenever she came upon water she fished,
     And always attired in a gaiter.

The word has a singular look, I agree,
     Yet is apt in the case of Miss Clegg;
Since from birth she a monopode happened to be,
     And you can't wear a pair on one leg.

Her foot was her basis then, while with her float
     She dangled a worm 'neath a willow;
Or, far out to sea, stood erect in a boat,
     And awaited a bite from the billow.
