the best-laid lay in may may often go astray
especially if a rhymester blond gets laid
"all who believe the pun the lowest form of wit may easily be dismissed as
either dumb or dumb and blond."
--a marvel of a maximist of mousy hair

a day in may an april wild
desired a mild a twee wee child
who cried and died in woe and pain
a fever ill a chill a rain
a heat a mercy seat e'er stained
to save a wraith in faith refrained
a strain an old refrain an air
in may a day declined from fair

the doctor is out
in having gone to court
to sing the following foolish lays
"when that I was and a little tiny boy, with hey, ho, the wind and the rain, a
foolish thing was but a toy, for the rain it raineth yet in may."
--a lay on ignorance
"every fair from fair declines."
--a lay on innocence
"the quality of mercy is not strained. it droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven upon the place beneath. it is twice blest: it blesseth one who gives
to take."
--a lay on double-dealing
"the first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers and mothers."
--a lay on lip service
"there's rue for you, and here's some for me. some yet call it 'herb of grace'
o' sundays."
--a lay on witchery
"roses e'er red, violets e'er blue; baby's breath bed, buried in rue."
--a lay on loss
