It Chanced That Allah, Looking Round, When He Had Made His Creatures, Found Half Of An Eagle And A Pair Of Extra Lion Legs To Spare. So, Hating Waste, He Took Some Glue And Made A Gryphon Of The Two. But When His Handiwork He Eyed, He Frowned--And It Was Petrified, Doomed For All Time To Represent Impatience On A Monument. Sometimes Upon Our Path To-Day Its Living Counterpart Will Stray-- Columbia'S Eagle Strutting In An Awf'Ly English Lion'S Skin, With Glass In Eye And Swagg'Ring Gait: Behold The Gryphon Up To Date.
