'Tis a hundred to one if you guess it
Puzzle
My first— yes, I'll straightway confess it—
'Tis a hundred to one if you guess it.
But what shall I say of my second?
Just half of a title 'tis reckoned.
My third has a personal status,
A lady, indeed, may await us.
"Good for naught," without aid or abettors,
My whole is made up of odd letters.
