Without Looking Twice
"Wherefore honkest thou," said I, "although in neighing guise?"
He could not answer, being mute, but rolled his meaning eyes
How swarth he was and flippant, too
The cheekiest denizen of the zoo
"Wherefore mockest thou," said I, "although in lisping tones?"
"Your false moustache, it peelest like many Groucho clones"
How glum he was and flaked, although
A dash of glamour seemed to show
"Wherefore wearest thou," said I, "a hat of finest ham?"
"It doth appear that Lagerfeld hath wrought his latest sham"
How shamed he was and whispered, "That
Is surely not a kosher hat"
"Wherefore pukest thou," said I, "a pile of warmish mush?"
He could not answer, being sick, and incessantly did gush
How pale he was and greenish, yet
He would not let me call the vet
"Wherefore goest thou," said I, "just as we seemed to jell?"
He led me on, then leapt away--and now in hell I dwell
How smooth he was, and fiery-eyed
With angel tongue he spoke - and lied
