I. I do not hold with him who thinks / The world is jonahed by a jinx; / That everything is sad and sour, / And life a withered hothouse flower.
II. I hate the Pollyanna pest / Who says that All Is for the Best, / And hold in high, unhidden scorn / Who sees the Rose, nor feels the Thorn.
III. I do not like extremists who / Are like the pair in (I) and (II); / But how I hate the wabbly gink, / Like me, who knows not what to think!
