David Law Proudfit I agree | disagree
Prehistoric Smith, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
Proudfit quotes I agree | disagree
Nature abhors imperfect work
And on it lays her ban;
And all creation must despise
A tailless man.
Proudfit I agree | disagree
A man sat on a rock and sought
Refreshment from his thumb;
A dinotherium wandered by
And scared him some.
His name was Smith. The kind of rock
He sat upon was shale.
One feature quite distinguished him—
He had a tail.
