The Sea Serpent

Title:     The Sea Serpent
Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

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!

[The end]
Oliver Herford's poem: Sea Serpent
