A SONG _WITH_ WORDS.

(_Suggestively dedicated to Lord Bury._)

  Oh! tell me not that you will "clic"
    When I can but "electricate,"
  Or, "propelected," merely "tric"
    A distance I might well "volate."
  For if to "Faradate" or "Volt"
    In "motored" motion I may "glide,"
  I wonder why I may not "bolt,"
    When called on to "electricide."
  Yet as each word I clip and splice,
  I'm more than half inclined to "trice."

  Let others "elk" until they're wild,
    I will not "lectroceed" or "glint,"
  And though their trip be "poled" or "piled"
    I need not "coil," or "spark," or "scint."
  No, if "electroflected" force
    They use to "clash" along their way,
  I p'raps might "ohm" upon my course
    Or even "squirm," if "clicked" to-day.
  "But no! the _Times_ gives sound advice,
  As matters stand, I think I'll "trice"!
