The Devil’s Dictionary
Tenacity
n. A certain quality of the human hand in its relation to the coin of the realm. It attains its highest development in the hand of authority and is considered a serviceable equipment for a career in politics. The following illustrative lines were written of a Californian gentleman in high political preferment, who has passed to his accounting:
  Of such tenacity his grip
  That nothing from his hand can slip.
  Well-buttered eels you may o’erwhelm
  In tubs of liquid slippery-elm
  In vain — from his detaining pinch
  They cannot struggle half an inch!
  ’Tis lucky that he so is planned
  That breath he draws not with his hand,
  For if he did, so great his greed
  He’d draw his last with eager speed.
  Nay, that were well, you say. Not so
  He’d draw but never let it go!
