Book Description

Excerpt from Random Rhymes and Odd Numbers To The Average Man The Average Man wears the average clothes And the average hat on his head; He eats at a table and sits on a chair And (normally) sleeps on a bed; For he scorns the eccentric, and never would dare To sleep on a table or eat on a chair. The Average Man seeks the comer saloon Omeric refreshment to find; But, shunning the tipple, he wanders to church When he is devoutly inclined - Nor does he expect to find whiskey or dice In the place that is famed for religious advice. The Average Man says the average things And sings just the average songs; He's deucedly fond of the Average Girl, For whom he unceasingly longs - And his vices and virtues, too many to tell, Are oddly at odds - but they average well. Statistics declare that the Average Man Finds the Average Woman and mates; That the Average Family, children all told, Is something like two and three-eights. (Though fractional children disturb and appal, The Average Man isn't worried at all.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
