There is no Frigate like a Book

There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
of Prancing Poetry.

This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll–
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul.
~ Emily Dickinson

Ruthless Rhymes

I previously quoted from Harry Graham’s Ruthless Rhymes For Heartless Homes. In The Game of Words , Willard R. Espy quotes two additional Ruthless Rhymes.

* * *

In the drinking well
Which the plumber built her
Aunt Eliza fell;
We must by a filter.

* * *

I had written to Aunt Maud
Who was on a trip abroad,
When I heard she’d died of cramp
Just too late to save the stamp.
