You left us a sound recording of the pronunciation
but I'm guessing my ien from yang
with no written list to escrow
I'm blundering trying to shoulder this word game
and my reve of speakeasy fades
like Icarus without wings
I'm left floundering
on the mais we
You've jettisoned espere again
and I'm still guessing at my letters
I need a dentist to perfect my rolling R
Autumn fire rich glimmer hues of amber
Unbidden, but welcomed what it covers
Tinder ablaze of golden hue colours
Unhurried, yet empowering wonders
Mien aura different from all others
Nude, descending foliage creak and shudder
Flaunting leurs pure florid madness
Inspiring emblazon pigments on canvas
Rustling leaves, chilly morn grace
Ever so sweet rest and waits for your embrace

Here ye! Here ye! Here ye!
I humbly present this poetic masterpiece in jest!
Four score, minus three hundred and sixty-five days ago
This handsome *****sapien took his first breath
Since that momentous day, the world has never been the same
However most people leave off the 'ien” leaving the phrase “*****sap”
Now that's downright mean and despicable I must say
This dude is the epitome of sweetness and absolute charm
In the history of humankind and all that ancient malarky
It took until my birth in nineteen-thirty-five
For this amazing specimen with these finely chiseled features
To pop onto the scene with tremendous fanfare and celebration
The Second World War was delayed by four years
Because of the worldwide excitement and huge celebrations
People in every land expressed their utter amazement
At such an fantastic specimen of the human male form
So when I pass on, I bequeath my extraordinary body to science
In hope they can determine what made this amazing creature
I offer it freely for the betterment of all humankind!
I apologize! LOL
