    “Reptilian green the wrinkled throat,
    Green as a bough of yew the beard;
    He bent his head, and so I smote;”
    —Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    “On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
    Sang “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
    And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit
    Singing, ‘Willow, titwillow, titwillow’?
    Is it a weakness of intellect, birdie?” I cried,
    “Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?””
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
