"Push Comes to Shuffle..." or Shuffle Stuff: a Nonsense Glossarhyme

When push comes to shuffle,
one shuffles along.
Off to Buffalo shuffle,
like's done in Al's song.*

     * Al Dubin and Harry Warren introduced
their song "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" in the 
1933 musical film "42nd Street." It must 
not be confused with Noble Sissle and
Eubie Blake's 1921 Broadway show
"Shuffle Along."

When shuffleboard's offer'd,
a shuffle pass may
lend one's shuffle dance lev'rage
to carpe the day.

When shuffling one's feet,
as Burt Shevelove does,
price, then purchase, a snow shuffle.
Why...? Just because.

As regards mortal coils
which require shuffling off,
shite's what's shuffled -- from Augean Stables!
(You scoff...?)
