O precious codex, volume, tome, Book, writing, compilation, work Attend the while I pen a pome, A jest, a jape, a quip, a quirk. For I would pen, engross, indite, Transcribe, set forth, compose, address, Record, submit--yea, even write An ode, an elegy to bless-- To bless, set store by, celebrate, Approve, esteem, endow with soul, Commend, acclaim, appreciate, Immortalize, laud, praise, extol. Thy merit, goodness, value, worth, Expedience, utility-- O manna, honey, salt of earth, I sing, I chant, I worship thee! How could I manage, live, exist, Obtain, produce, be real, prevail, Be present in the flesh, subsist, Have place, become, breathe or inhale, Without thy help, recruit, support, Opitulation, furtherance, Assisstance, rescue, aid, resort, Favor, sustention, and advance? Alas! alack! and well-a-day! My case would then be dour and sad, Likewise distressing, dismal, gray, Pathetic, mournful, dreary, bad. * * * Though I could keep this up all day, This lyric, elegiac song, Meseems hath come the time to say Farewell! adieu! good-by! so long! To a Thesaurus, Franklin P. Adams
