To make a funny Blottentot,

First take a piece of paper,

Splash on some ink, a single spot,

Crease, press, but cut no caper.

Don't crease exactly at the blot—

You'll have a fearful muddle;

Press gently, too, and not a lot,

Unless you want a puddle.

With everything we humans do,

Practice makes us apter:

So start at once, you'll find it true

At the end of your first chapter.
