Explore "Metaphysics" by Franklin P. Adams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A man morose and dull and sad -- / Go ask him why he feels so bad. / Behold! He answers it is drink / That put his nerves upon the blink.
Another man whose smile and jest / Disclose a nature of the best -- / What keeps his heart and spirit up? / Again we learn it is the cup.
The moral to this little bit / Is anything you make of it. / Such recondite philosophy / Is far away too much for me.
