I met a traveler from an antique landWho said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stoneStand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,Tell that its sculptor well those passions readWhich yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;And on the pedestal these words appear:“My name is Uriah B. Plushbotham, 1790-1862:Look on my name, ye Mighty, and giggle!”Nothing beside remains. Round the decayOf that colossal wreck, boundless and bareThe lone and level sands stretch far away.
Is that possibly Lord Uriah B. Plushbottom from “Moon Mullins”? Maybe Barney & Clyde can take a trip to Gasoline Alley and get Uncle Walt to take them to the Comic Retirement Home…
