"What need have you of ref'rence tomes?", asked Little Piggy Least       [Arnold the Sly Ape ]

(That Satanistic champion and brother of the Beast)       [Apsley ]

I sense Roget's Thesaurus leaves us crying out for more       [F ]

So little Piggy took the bus to the all night liquor store       [choke ]

"How many does 'quixotic' score?" my maiden aunt enquired       [Beefy ]

"Sorry, Dear," I told her, "You've no U, so you're still mired"       [Kansas Sam ]

A quick review of Webster's oeuvre proved I was quite correct       [Beefy ]
