The Late Shift At Thesaurus.com

 

All the imps are happy

working down at Thesaurus.com.

Every one of them diglot.

Every one a philomath.

Not one imp fainiant,

or a fustilugs.

Nights, alone in the workshop,

they give themselves up to furious

hogmagundy, an inbred camarilla.

Friends, if you happen upon

them in their work, in their

concupiscent crasis,

smile and pass by. Unless, of course,

you want only godwottery.

Then, to coin a phrase, please sit a spell.

 

 

 

 

 

LP

 

Let

the record

show

 

that at this

particular

time

 

we

have half

as many

Beatles

 

as we should

have.
