   "The time has come," the Walrus said,   
   "To talk of many things:   
   Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--   
   Of cabbages--and kings--   
   And why the sea is boiling hot--   
   And whether pigs have wings."   
      
   Or perhaps "sealing wax" simply sounds like something   
   somebody really old would do.
