THE ALPHABET-BURGLAR


HE IS THE MEANING-STRANGLER,
HE IS THE ALPHABET-BURGLAR!
HE DANCES WITH THE MINUSCULE 
AND HATES THE GARMENTS OF THE MAJUSCULE!

 

HE IS THE WORD-EATER,
HE LOVES WINTER-HEATER;
HE DIGS THE LINES IN SEARCH FOR A LITER 
OF WATER, HOTTER THAN WHAT OFFERED GLOOMY-PETER!

HE IS THE MEANING-STRANGLER,
HE IS THE ALPHABET-BURGLAR!
HE DANCES WITH THE MINUSCULE
AND HATES THE GARMENTS OF THE MAJUSCULE!

HE HIDES THE PUNCTUATION,
AND DISLIKES THE ACCENTUATION!
HE SWIMS IN THE FORSAKEN INK,
LOOKS FOR THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE LINK
AND GIVES TO THOSE AROUND HIS TABLE, AN UNSTABLE FUNNY WINK!
