Ailing Hue
How horrified was him with teeth so green
and by the water did he so self discover
so that on a homeward journey he hardly grin
and all who met him wonder what he suffer
By Jove! i must find what causeth this, he muse
and a getting home he bellowed and at the family
wanting and yearning to know the cause of his curse
their mouth hanging open bewildered, he was moved to pity
for theirs was a mix of algae green and bacteria white
for a while he could only but stare
and out of mind they say is for a lack of sight
but his was different, the lack made him flare
what to do and how he knows not
what the ailment is he after sought.
