[Dumble was an ignoramus]
Dumble was an ignoramus,Mumble was for learning famous.
Mumble said one day to Dumble:
“Ignorance should be more humble.
Not a spark have you of knowledge
That was got in any college.”
Dumble said to Mumble: “Truly
You're self-satisfied unduly.
Of things in college I'm denied
A knowledge—you of all beside.”
