COVentry Carol or the Nonsense He Knows

     I've 
call'd for COVES who don’t get captur'd, 
COVES who don’t get caught. 
     I’m 
circumspect re COVENSwhere Dem's 
witch-hunt raids get wrought.

     I'm 
COVETOUS of cash...'cuz I crave
capital...a lot!
     My 
habit’s been to rake coin in. (Through 
COVIN, oft as not.)

     Cook'd 
capers call for COVER-UPS. Of 
those I've caused a bevy.
     With 
lingual coinage, too, I'm clever. 
(Google my ‘COVFEFE.’)

     Now, 
nasty Chinese COVID-19's 
vast catastrophe!
     Drumpf's
vocable- (his V O C-) CO-
VALENT...? 'C O V-.'

Too young to leave her 
mum, this lass still
bakes -- fast -- cherry 
pies.*
What's choc'late-like, with 
notes of Bosc and
Danjou: pear-y 
chais.
     Moral:
First, eat and drink. Then -- later -- think.
     * The traditional song "Billy Boy, Billy Boy" 
tells of a girl who can "bake a cherry pie
in the twinkling of an eye" but is "a young
thing who cannot leave her mother."

Jawin' Wid Amin: 
Conversations with the 
Ugandan Dictator About Life, 
Love & Whatnot

"Submit me those gobshites," 
the dictator dictates.

them's fam'lies -- the scene."
"So, Id': have you anyone 
new in your life...?"
pivots Mitchell. "New soulmate...? 
New girlfriend...? New wife...?"
"I confess I've no time 
for careers of such kind...
what with slaughterin' subjects
post robbin' 'em blind."
