== Nothing in Particular ==

<poem>
I hear about by day & night
The most acute of maladies
To picture it in black & white
The object of this ballad is
Allow me, gentle reader, please 
to breath in your auricular,
I suffer from that fell disease 
Called "nothing in particular."

To render it the more intense,
And almost unendurable
My doctor says in confidence
That it is quite incurable. 
My mind thus weakened day by day
must lose its perpendicular 
And fall a melancholy prey
To nothing in particular.
</poem>
