That one is laugh-out-loud funny, Gail. Here's another X. J. Kennedy epigram:
A Brat's Reward
At the market Philbert Spicer
Peered into the bacon slicer—
Whiz! the wicked slicer sped
Back and forth across his head
Quickly shaving—what a shock!—
Fifty chips off Phil's old block,
Stopping just above the eyebrows.
Phil's not one of them thar highbrows.
