Archyisms
Archyisms
judging by the number and variety
of pills and religions in the world
the chief pre-occupation of man
has been the state of his digestion
and the condition of his soul
and just took at both of them.
if Mars
and earth ever do
get into communication
probably they will be
swapping
scandalous stories
inside of three hours.
the ant-bear may be toothless
but scorn not his capacity
his appetite is ruthless
his chief vice is edacity
he boasts without apology
his fad is entomology.
