Show Josh Billings ou the Effeminate Man. The effeminate man is a weak poul tice. He is a cross between a root beer and a ginger pop with the cork left out. A fresh water mermaid found in a new pasture with his hands filled with dandelions. He is a teacup-ful teacup-ful of syllabub a kitchen in pantalettes panta-lettes a sick monkey with a blonde mustache. He is a vine without any tendrils a fly drowned in oil a paper kite in a dead calm. He lives like a but-terflj but-terflj nobody can tell why. He is as harmless as a cent's worth of spruce gum, and as useless as a shirt button without a hole. He is as lazy as a bread pill and has no more hope than a last year's grasshopper. He goes through life on tiptoes and dies like cologne water spilt over the ground. |
