  INTIMACY, n.  A relation into which fools are providentially drawn for
  their mutual destruction.
  
      Two Seidlitz powders, one in blue
      And one in white, together drew
      And having each a pleasant sense
      Of t'other powder's excellence,
      Forsook their jackets for the snug
      Enjoyment of a common mug.
      So close their intimacy grew
      One paper would have held the two.
      To confidences straight they fell,
      Less anxious each to hear than tell;
      Then each remorsefully confessed
      To all the virtues he possessed,
      Acknowledging he had them in
      So high degree it was a sin.
      The more they said, the more they felt
      Their spirits with emotion melt,
      Till tears of sentiment expressed
      Their feelings.  Then they effervesced!
      So Nature executes her feats
      Of wrath on friends and sympathetes
      The good old rule who don't apply,
      That you are you and I am I.
