Flappity, Floppity, Flip!
The Mouse on the Möbius Strip
The Strip revolved,
The Mouse dissolved
In a chronodimensional skip.

Russell and Whitehead and Hegel and Kant!
Maybe I shall and maybe I shan’t.
Maybe I shan’t and maybe I shall.
Kant Russell Whitehead, Hegel et al.

Probable-Possible, my black hen,
She lays eggs in the Relative When.
She doesn’t lay eggs in the Positive Now
Because she’s unable to Postulate How.

Little Jack Horner
Sits in a corner
Extracting cube roots to infinity,
An assignment for boys
That will minimize noise
And produce a more peaceful vicinity.

See the little phrases go,
Watch their funny antics.
The men who make them wiggle so
Are teachers of Semantics.
The words go up, the words go round
And make a great commotion,
But all that lies behind the sound
Is hebetude Bœotian.
- Frederick Winsor
