Chapter VIII
With my first verse I had no material difficulty. It ran thus: “To pen an Ode upon the ‘Oil-of-Bob.’” Having carefully looked out, however, all the legitimate rhymes to “Bob,” I found it impossible to proceed. In this dilemma I had recourse to paternal aid; and, after some hours of mature thought, my father and myself thus constructed the poem: _“To pen an Ode upon the ‘Oil-of-Bob’ Is all sorts of a job._ “(Signed) Snob.”
