The Compleat Linguist

John-Boy Walton

Man’s sentence’s in vain, for it’s subject is pain,
And sorrow, and short as a quick click;
’ Tis a hodge-podge of syntax, semantics, and sounds,
And sounds, semantics, and logique.

But we’ll take no care when the funding proves fair;
Nor will we vex now our wee brains;
We’ll banish all sorrow, and sing till to-morrow,
And theorize and theorize again.
