After reading too much Aquinas <br /> <br />Would an aphid reside in an onager's ear <br />if the onager's master spoke Twi? <br />Or a Gascony scop with a leper elope <br />if a civet leapt out of a tree? <br />You doubt it? Read Thomas and see. <br /> <br />Would an addax in Denmark gyrate <br />if an emu in Sweden bore freight? <br />Or an eland in Chile complain <br />if jerboas in Goa refrain? <br />You doubt it? Read Thomas and see. <br /> <br />For really I thought ‘twas the onager taught <br />the aphid the tenor of Twi, and that <br />Gascony scops with Norwegians eloped <br />when Danes had lepers to tea. <br />You doubt it? Read Thomas and see.<br /><br />Donal Mahoney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jabberwocky-redux/
