WIth thirty three or thirty four Our Ks will rise to Fifty Four And all the Catter's, wild-eyed, say "By God! They made another K!" The children of the Mudcat tribe Will snort and spiel and diatribe, And rant and moan, and kvetch and roar When Mother's K hits Fifty Four. ANd thirty three or thorty four Is really not that many more To write and edit, polish, post And twitterpate Joe Offer's ghost! And Max, who lives out past the Sun Will smile and what our lads of done! So many post, writ one by one, By Mother's daughters, Mother's sons. But we--who understand it most Will know it's just another post, Another gybe, another rhyme Writ just one letter at a time. Winnifred Pettigrew De Longing Hard Times in the Underwear Department and Other Poems Snidely, Smirk, and Giggle, pubs. Hijinks on Edge, 1918
