An Idiot pays US liberty for insegtin:
the following gushing poem on the raj
storms of this week
jupiter Pluvius! Wasn't it tlnvonso
Even the pavements were semi alluvious ::
And how the wind roared, and how til
rain poured,
As il all the water that nature had store
Since Shem, Ham, and Japhet, and Noal
& Co.,
Stepped out on Mount Arrarat, ages ago,
In one mighty dowchs had come down frot
the skies,
To make us profaney refer to our eyes.
