    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    SWEENEY:
    Nothing to eat but the fruit as it grows.
    Nothing to see but the palmtrees one way
    And the sea the other way,
    Nothing to hear but the sound of the surf.
    Nothing at all but three things
    DORIS: What things?
    SWEENEY: Birth, and copulation, and death.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There was a young lady of Ryde
    Who was carried far out by the tide.
    Cried a man-eating shark,
    “How’s this for a lark?
    I knew that the Lord would provide.”
    Anonymous.

    From scenes like these old Scotia’s grandeur springs,
    That makes her loved at home, revered abroad;
    Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
    “An honest man’s the noblest work of God!”
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
