''What does it mean when we are told''
satire by [[Ogden Nash: Very Like a Whale]]
''That that Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold?''
 
''In the first place, George Gordon Byron had enough experience''
 
''To know that it probably wasn't just one Assyrian, it was a lot of Assyrians.''
''However, as too many arguments are apt to induce apoplexy thus hinder longevity.''
''We'll let it pass as one Assyrian for the sake of brevity.''
