As one who strives a hill to climb	A
Who never climbed before	B
Who finds it in a little time	A
Grow every moment less sublime	A
And votes the thing a bore	B
	-
Yet having once begun to try	C
Dares not desert his quest	D
But climbing ever keeps his eye	C
On one small hut against the sky	C
Wherein he hopes to rest	D
	-
Who climbs till nerve and force are spent	E
With many a puff and pant	F
Who still as rises the ascent	E
In language grows more violent	G
Although in breath more scant	F
	-
Who climbing gains at length the place	H
That crowns the upward track	I
And entering with unsteady pace	H
Receives a buffet in the face	H
That lands him on his back	I
	-
And feels himself like one in sleep	J
Glide swiftly down again	K
A helpless weight from steep to steep	J
Till with a headlong giddy sweep	J
He drops upon the plain	L
	-
So I that had resolved to bring	M
Conviction to a ghost	N
And found it quite a different thing	M
From any human arguing	M
Yet dared not quit my post	N
	-
But keeping still the end in view	O
To which I hoped to come	P
I strove to prove the matter true	O
By putting everything I knew	O
Into an axiom	P
	-
Commencing every single phrase	Q
With 'therefore' or 'because '	-
I blindly reeled a hundred ways	Q
About the syllogistic maze	Q
Unconscious where I was	R
	-
Quoth he quot That's regular clap trap	S
Don't bluster any more	B
Now DO be cool and take a nap	S
Such a ridiculous old chap	S
Was never seen before	B
	-
quot You're like a man I used to meet	T
Who got one day so furious	U
In arguing the simple heat	T
Scorched both his slippers off his feet quot	T
I said quot THAT'S VERY CURIOUS quot	T
	-
quot Well it IS curious I agree	V
And sounds perhaps like fibs	U
But still it's true as true can be	V
As sure as your name's Tibbs quot said he	V
I said quot My name's NOT Tibbs quot	T
	-
quot NOT Tibbs quot he cried his tone became	W
A shade or two less hearty	T
quot Why no quot said I quot My proper name	W
Is Tibbets quot quot Tibbets quot quot Aye the same quot	T
quot Why then YOU'RE NOT THE PARTY quot	T
	-
With that he struck the board a blow	X
That shivered half the glasses	U
quot Why couldn't you have told me so	X
Three quarters of an hour ago	X
You prince of all the asses	U
	-
quot To walk four miles through mud and rain	L
To spend the night in smoking	M
And then to find that it's in vain	L
And I've to do it all again	K
It's really TOO provoking	M
	-
quot Don't talk quot he cried as I began	Y
To mutter some excuse	U
quot Who can have patience with a man	Y
That's got no more discretion than	Y
An idiotic goose	U
	-
quot To keep me waiting here instead	T
Of telling me at once	U
That this was not the house quot he said	T
quot There that'll do be off to bed	T
Don't gape like that you dunce quot	T
	-
quot It's very fine to throw the blame	W
On ME in such a fashion	Z
Why didn't you enquire my name	W
The very minute that you came quot	T
I answered in a passion	Z
	-
quot Of course it worries you a bit	T
To come so far on foot	T
But how was I to blame for it quot	T
quot Well well quot said he quot I must admit	T
That isn't badly put	T
	-
quot And certainly you've given me	T
The best of wine and victual	X
Excuse my violence quot said he	T
quot But accidents like this you see	T
They put one out a little	X
	-
quot 'Twas MY fault after all I find	T
Shake hands old Turnip top quot	T
The name was hardly to my mind	T
But as no doubt he meant it kind	T
I let the matter drop	A2
	-
quot Good night old Turnip top good night	T
When I am gone perhaps	U
They'll send you some inferior Sprite	T
Who'll keep you in a constant fright	T
And spoil your soundest naps	U
	-
quot Tell him you'll stand no sort of trick	B2
Then if he leers and chuckles	U
You just be handy with a stick	B2
Mind that it's pretty hard and thick	B2
And rap him on the knuckles	U
	-
quot Then carelessly remark 'Old coon	C2
Perhaps you're not aware	D2
That if you don't behave you'll soon	C2
Be chuckling to another tune	C2
And so you'd best take care '	-
	-
quot That's the right way to cure a Sprite	T
Of such like goings on	E2
But gracious me It's getting light	T
Good night old Turnip top good night quot	T
A nod and he was gone	F2
