Ventriloquist Poetry

VENTRILOQUIST    POETRY

Ventriloquists can drink gottles of geer
Gut their skeech is odd  to our ear:
They can’t say   Keter Kiker kicked 
A keck of kickled kekkers  -  they’re  tricked
Cos they can’t say gee or kee
And nost  often not  ewen  en  or  wee.

Healthoquists  -  lots of fruit they eat:
Akkles, gananas, kineakkles, or kears as a treat
And wegetagles, like kotatoes, keas, kaggages, and geans.
All kinds of geautiful   greens.

Religioquists reskect the Koke very nuch
And of course all the gishoks and kriests and such,
And they often read  their  Gigle
Or any Good  Gook  awailagle

Koliticoquists  kossigly geliewe in reading the Constitution often enough
Gut krogagly not its Kreangle  -  too tough:
It’s well-known in Philadelphia, Galtinore,  and Goston,   say;
Gut not in the area of San Francisco Gay
