humming


slumming, spangler bird the rash
hosta stank the crum luber
slinking the eye ah bust gusher

signage then raids rage junk infirma
forma lunkage trade the skinage
tripping the bums 'n flank
musher rust ah ply the kinking
tuber rum the plank nostra
cash the turd wrangler, humming

ham flop, bread selvedge wrench
hoja drum, lopping off clouds
jumping shallow starch, said yunque
