On Excessive Alliteration
If you would pen some poems
Of passionate perfect praise,
And have someone to hear 'ems
To clear their ears from haze,
You'd better put a stop to
Alliteration's touch,
For letters linked a lot to
Are misty much too much.
But if you love a letter
(Let's leave it that it's "L")
And loving "L" is better
Than living long in Hell,
Then let your tongue prolong it,
And let your lungs expel,
The lasting lulls of longing
That through your lips propel.
