  IMPROBABILITY, n.
  
      His tale he told with a solemn face
      And a tender, melancholy grace.
          Improbable 'twas, no doubt,
          When you came to think it out,
          But the fascinated crowd
          Their deep surprise avowed
      And all with a single voice averred
      'Twas the most amazing thing they'd heard --
      All save one who spake never a word,
          But sat as mum
          As if deaf and dumb,
      Serene, indifferent and unstirred.
          Then all the others turned to him
          And scrutinized him limb from limb --
          Scanned him alive;
          But he seemed to thrive
          And tranquiler grow each minute,
          As if there were nothing in it.
      "What! what!" cried one, "are you not amazed
      At what our friend has told?"  He raised
      Soberly then his eyes and gazed
          In a natural way
          And proceeded to say,
      As he crossed his feet on the mantel-shelf:
      "O no -- not at all; I'm a liar myself."
