I was gazing in a newsagent's window yesterday, at a rack of those funny plaques, and this one struck me as rather unique: "I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, keep me here." For pure rubbish, it seems hard to beat, yet is seems to make "sense" well, grammatically. ================================ Naughty/Noughty Nonsense =============== I went in search of Nothing, But Nought is what I found, Much of Nix, and Nil, and None, And Silence, lost in Sound. I came across a Zero, And floundered 'round in Zilch; I saw that I was Naked, But No clothing did I filch. I am a total Nobody, A complete Nonentity. I'd dwell in Land of Nowhere, But I am Not to be. ================
