2his exaltation shocked both youth and crone
3replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease

7in salads all chew grubs before they’ve wings
8victorious worms grind all into the grave

10one tongue will do to keep the verse agog
11watching manure and compost coalesce

12Whiskey will always wake an Irish bog
13poor reader smile before your lips go numb
14the bell tolls fee-less fi-less fo-less fum
