The Last Word
Mr. Twain:
Honored Sir — We have seen, from your pen,
An article headed, " Last Words of Great Men. "
O, thank you, sir! Bless you! You've started a doubt;
That shall grow till it puts our maligners to rout;
For these great men were married, or some of them were,
That's certain; and we, sir, shall beg to infer,
Hence, the probable end of a charge we have heard,
That a man with a wife never has the last word.
Yours truly,
Some of the Little Women
