Getting out a paper is fun, but no pi„

If I print jokes, people say I’m silly
If I don’t, they say I’m too serious.
If I clip tings from other books, lT/v\
too lazy to write them myself.
If I don’t, I’m too fond of my own stu;
If I refuse contributions, I don’t
appreciate true genius.
If T teke them, the page is filled v/i4!,
junk.
Now very likely, someone will say I
swiped this from some book....I did! 1
