"A Round Tuit" verse :
"At long last we have a sufficient quantity of these so that each person may have one of his own.
Guard it with your life. These Tuits have been hard to come by,
Especially the round ones. This is an indispensable item.
It will help you become a much more efficient worker.
For years you have been saying, "I'll do that as soon as I get a round tuit."
Now that you have a round tuit of your very own,
All those things that have been needing to be accomplished will surely get done."
