Peek-A-Boo Lexicon

With the glut of sounds fixed within the book of expressions
I cause the dearth in mine carve ‘pon slip for the eager to ponder
A poet compelled yet tactful with scribe as a view thru scrim

This reminds me of a saying I learned as a little boy - "There once was an antiquated old gentleman who went by the cognomen of Uncle Edward. He had no capillary substance on the spot where the capillary substance oughta vegitate." Love this sort of nonsense. daver
