Let me introduce a Race Void of Beauty and of Grace, Extraordinary Creatures With a Paucity of Features. Though their Forms are fashioned ill, They have Manners stranger still; For in Rudeness they’re Precocious, They’re Atrocious, they’re Ferocious!

For, although it’s Fun to See them It is Terrible to Be them! – Summary by Gelett Burgess [chương_files]
