Macab's Poetic Cant

. Slipping twixt mine dukes digits hern pretty moaning Beguiling mine her Marabou stole Emerald eyne Too hern tinted thew's sheath their whence Intrigues me not Not az her limp her protuberant stare the silence Inciting Mine noisome sneer her offed hefft * for the astute indulgerz uv this write; thanx for the visit... for those who indulge for the guess why i wrote this: the original pronunciation uv Macabre, in the 1400'z by the french iz, how it iz written. in english, we say 'macab' ...phonetically pronounced: mah cobb. it comes from the french "danse macabre"; death dance ;)
