The Replete Performance of 

My Only Esquire

M Sarki

Precious, you have no pod.
And your navicular
Has been scalped from

Your cover. No less, you
Are still a fabulous blugg
To scrawm. But here,

Darling, the rim is
Unsteady. And the palea
Complex. But you-- my

God! --you are
Pugnacious. All
Bruit and thutter.
