The Pig in the Spigot

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by J. Otto Seibold. "Some tiny insects make a seething sound, / And swarm and jitter furiously around, / Which seems to me sufficient explanation / Of why there is a gnat in indignation." Wilbur continues to play with words, this time in poems that drolly explain (or occasionally question) why certain words are found within other words. Seibold's surreal pictures suit the absurd content of the poems.
