Enigma —Selected by Emily B. :— Great orators use me in high rigmarole To couple ideas, and hold in control The platitudes foisted^on Tom, Dick, and Harry, Whose penchant for circumlocution ne'er vary. And likewise, outswelled to their utmost capacity By arrantest humbug and blatant audacity, The "Quacks," hi-falutin, thus fully inflated, Intersperse me with freedom and vim unabatad.
