Uly* Does Allan** Does Lewis***: Another Poetical Take on "Snark"

      * Ulysses Poe, author of Radon and/or Drano and other books of nonsense 

     ** Allan Odell, great-grandson of the founder of Burma Shave

     *** Lewis Carroll, composer of "The Hunting of the Snark"


Musician! Grab,

     Before it’s dark,

          Your tuba, for*

               To clock the Snark!

                    * Your two-by-four

 

                In Myanmar,

          Rohingyas rave,

     “Don’t lather me

With Burma Shave!”

 

Transsexuals

     Who’d sheckles save

          From barbers beg

               “A perm! A shave!”

 

               All Boojum’d Snarks

          Must misbehave.

     Thus fade all Bakers.

(Burma Shave!)
