Dear Sir
written by Walter de la Mare
Stuff and Nonsense (1927) Link to further information




There was an old Rabbi of Ur;
     He loved a Miss Beaulieu.
She sent him a letter: "Dear Sir ..."
Then a stone-cold "Yours truly."
          Now what she could mean
          By the dots in between
          Is not plain to be seen.
We can but infer the Rabbi of Ur
          Enquired of Miss Beaulieu.
