Swore Like a Trooper

There once was a lass named Hortense When she spoke she didn't make sense An interpreter was needed But the interpreter cheated Swore like a trooper, made the air blue and intense © Jack Ellison 2015

There once was a lass named Hortense... Whose interpeter spoke with offense... She got out her umbrella... and pounded his noggin, poor fella... Until he finally decided to make more sense...
