Analysis of Speaking Of Operations
Ellis Parker Butler 1869 (Muscatine) – 1937 (Williamsville)
I know something wonderful—wonderful;
So strange it will quite startle you;
So strange and absurd and unusual
It seems it can hardly be true!
I know something wonderful—wonderful;
You’ll hardly believe it can be—
You know my appendix? Well, honest,
I’ve still got it inside of me!
