“If you wish to succeed as a jester, you’ll need
To consider each person’s auricular:
What is all right for B would quite scandalize C
(For C is so very particular);
And D may be dull, and E’s very thick skull
Is as empty of brains as a ladle;
While F is F sharp, and will cry with a carp,
That he’s known your best joke from his cradle!”
