o wondrous worm that won the height

of fame by keeping out of sight!

never was known on land or sea

such a colossal modesty;

never such arrogant pretence

of ostentatious diffidence.

celebrity whom none has seen,

save some post prandial marine,

no magazine can reproduce

your photograph.—oh, what's the use

of doing things when one may be

so famous a nonentity!
