This business of writhig verses
is fascinating to some people.
Me, for one. Every 'so aften:1 get
the urge; and burst into rhyme
that has the readers of this col-
umn ningor running to the
bathroom, gagging. Don't worry,
not this Week. ,
• But just by_sheer comcidetice,
•I have einne across some old
verses (not mine) that coma -
date my kion that the English
language is about the most illo-
gical in •the world. The following
effort is dedicated to English
• teachers and the poor, . baffled
devils of foreigners who are try-
ing: to learn the crazy 'stuff.

And cold and blough:.
She kept her hands within her
It chilled her through, •-
Her nose grevi, bloegh .
And still the squall the faster

And yet, although .
There was no snough,
The .weather was a cruel .fough.
It made' her cough • •
(Pray do not icough);
She coughed until her head
bough ough.
What's 'that? You want more?
I think you're out of Your mind,
but there's th old folk saying,
particularly licable these
winter days:.
It' S not the cough •
Wot carries you' off.
It's the Coffin
They carry you off in. . •
Several of the Very few clean
limericks in the world also re-

tongue, For instance. '

There you are. A brand new
