"I think the song that is sweetest / Is the one that is never sung; / That lies in the heart of the singer, / Too grand for mortal tongue. " / -- Some poet or other.
The hen egg that is largest / Was the one she never laid; / And the biggest bet in all the world / Was the one we never made.
And the biggest fight that Dallas had / Was the one that did not go; / And the finest poet in the world was the one / That didn't write "Beautiful Snow."
The finest country in all the world / Has never yet been explored, / And the finest artesian well in town / Has not at this time been bored.
