If The Janitor, When Juggling...
Gorris!
By which the inhabitants of that town meant an eagle statue
Fit for the most obscene of all defacement
Which is to say removal of the flight feathers
In one small area adjoining the nape of the neck
With a pair of nail-scissors made in central Latvia
Bandun!
Gay as the person was who vouchsafed to me, I doubt his word
Etched on a tiny tinder-box from Woburn
Which is to say the architectural capital of the world
Since every other word consisted of nothing but vowels
Strung together with some twine brought from Estonia
Mullonor!
No razor-blade that I ever used or owned was of that make
Save when I hulked the haulage ships one Easter
Which is to say a practice that I dare not describe outside the craft
Nor inside, when the mutineers defy the empty charge
That they'd hauled from distant lands called Lithuania
