A QUEER VERSE.
(Sent In by Annie Ah Chan, Thames.)
If you read the little verse below it will sound wrong in its calculations: t have four rooms and hating gloom Twenty candles in each room Five and twenty in the four I'll tell you neither less nor more. It certainly doesn't seem to make sense, does it, but read it now the corrcct punctuation has been added: I have four rooms, and, hating gloom, Twenty candles. In each room Five, and twenty in the four, I'll tell you neither less nor more.
