From the same episode:







What's In A Crump?
By "Norris Crump", 1868
 
O misery, vile opposite of joy!
 O luck that is extremely bad indeed!
Of all the circumstance bound to annoy:
 To give a name and plant misfortune's seed.
 
A Crump by any other name besides
 Like Crumpington-Hanover-Wimley-Jones,
Were not apt to make ladies split their sides
 Or speak one's name in condescending tones.
 
What's in a Crump? A shadow of a man,
 In Crumpish, sad acceptance of his fate,
Will fame and fortune ever run to plan
 When handed such an undernourished plate?
 
This life is verily a loser's game,
Lived by a bard who dare not speak his name.
