I like to post fresh poems, although
what follows I wrote long ago
in a newfangled form invented by Coe.
Just a few ditties, and here they go:
There's an ex in "expressive,"
an ex in "expresso."
A third ex? Excessive.
Two exes? Less so.
There's a hip in "hippopotamus."
"Hip-hip hooray" has two hips.
Before I joined up with Anonymous,
I suppered on double mint juleps.
There's a jewel to be found in a "julep,"
a ewe to be found in a "jewel,"
a yo to be found in a "you" but
only a foo! in a "fool."
There's a lad inside Milady
as well as in Philadelphia.
The first part she takes gladly
but the second part is hell for her.
