(_By a Grumpy Old Bachelor._)
"'Tis a mad world, my masters!" Grim LOMBROSO
Corroborates mild SHAKSPEARE in this matter.
And, though _his_ demonstration seems but so-and-so,
No doubt the world's as mad as any hatter,
The sweeter sex especially! 'Tis sad,
But that rule's absolute, depend upon it!
'Tis obvious all women _must_ be mad,
Because--there is a "b" in _every_ bonnet!
