They have no ethics or religions;

The books that we should like to read we are ashamed to buy;
The books that people talk about we never can recall;
And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.

And Brags about it for a Little While;
Ambition rises — and the Foolish Man
Sighs, and prepares to buy Another Style.

As he walked along the street;
'I must buy a pair and a half of shoes
Because I have three feet.'
