Now my sister's daughter, Elizabeth May
Is going to get married next Sunday, they say
Now what will I buy her? She's such a nice girl.
I think a piano will do very well.
I saw one today, 'twas a beauty I found.
Only ninety-five guineas. I'll have it sent round. (Stanley Holloway)

I have found little that is "good" about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think.
