Poetry Month
I keep seeing poems, and today's Word of the Day is objurgate, so here's a nice crossover using both.
I objurgate the centipede,
A bug we really do not need.
At sleepy-time he beats a path
Straight to the bedroom or the bath.
You always wallop where he's not,
Or if he is, he makes a spot.
--Ogden Nash
Another Ogden Nash favorite:
The one-L lama, he's a priest
The two-L llama, he's a beast
And I would bet a silk pyjama
There isn't any three-L lllama.*
*The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh.

Candy
Is dandy
But liquor
Is quicker.
