ON HEARING IT AVERRED THAT THE WORDS MONTH, ENGLISH, DIFFICULT, SILVER, GARBAGE, TWELVE, POEM AND WOLF HAVE NO RHYMES

Oh two or three times or maybe just onth

A week or a couple of times a month,

I get to feeling a little tinglish,

And speaking all kinds of unusual English,

And things seem easy that once were difficult.

I feel that any old faith’s a terrific cult,

And the sky looks gold and the landscape silver—

I run out the door to go wade in the rilver,

Get all tied up in the wirage and barbage

Of a barbed wire fence and a can of garbage,

Watch the old cow calve and the mama elf elve,

And eat a big lunch about quarter to twelve,

And grab somebody even though I don’t know ’im,

And make him listen to a wonderful poem:

“Now ain’t that a wonder-wonder-ful-f-

Ul dog over there, or is it a wolf?”
