\nOne word we dread to mention.
\nInstead,
\nhe made frog noises
\ncaroled with the cygnus<\/em>
\nkicked off his wooden working shoes
\napplied his foot to the pail, hard
\ntoppled off the budgie support
\nremoved the taught spring of life
\nlies seventy two inches down
\nis bench pressing the bellis perennis<\/em>
\nand entertaining the annelids <\/em>for lunch.
\nThough you need to be careful with Latin.
\nIt\u2019s a language that has tumbled
\nwell away from awake.<\/p>\n
