Stuff Happens in the World of Fiction

In a Shoe? Boot, I Say!

Mother Goose Musings

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood
in quantities sufficient to fuel the feared blaze

that would motivate the trapped fly and flea

to vacate that proverbial place of the flawed flue,

much as the dog in a famed factor-analysis problem

learned wit enough to solve the multi-causal
problem posed by asking for one effect from
a multitude of causes, knowing that cause
becomes effect as burning stick moves a dog.
