Since one anthologist put in his book
Sweet things by Morse, Bone, Potter, Bliss and Brook,
All subsequent anthologists, of course,
Have quoted Bliss, Brook, Potter, Bone and Morse.
For, should one rash anthologist make free
To print selections, say, from you and me,
Omitting with a judgment all his own
The classic Brook, Morse, Potter, Bliss and Bone,
Contemptuous reviewers, passing by
Our verses, would unanimously cry,
"What manner of anthology is this,
That leaves out Bone, Brook, Potter, Morse and Bliss!"

Found in a footnote of the book "Motivation and Personality" by
Abraham H. Maslow (very interesting book!)

Stoned, buttered, mortised, blessed and broken wishes,
