I just saw a citation for Ogden Nash. This is exciting.

Actually, I don't know where the rumor about William James got started.
The poem is by Dorothy Parker. (The first stanza, that is.)
Nice sequel.

William James scribbled down the Great Thought that had appeared in
his dream.
He later found he had written:
Higamous, hogamous, woman's monogamous.
Hogamous, higamous, men are polygamous. *
This morning I found this on the notepad by my bed:
Higamous, hogamus, alpha's dichotomous.
Hogamus, higamous, p is continuous.
*From memory -- anybody got a reference?
