THE PURIST
By Ogden Nash
I give you now Professor
Twist,
A Conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, “He
never bungles!”
And sent him of to distant
jungles.
Camped on a tropic
riverside,
One day he missed his
loving bride.
She had, the guide informed
him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not
but smile.
“You mean,” he said, “a
crocodile.”
