Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{litany for insomnia}
  reb livingston


O Tempest! Begetter of all tricksy.
I mortgage your tearflop marquee.
While bethinking the outfaced sneers amassed,
I believe that you, Shepherd,
would in a pageant decree this velvet to vomit.
Blameful as I am,
I greenly swallow you cocksure.
Pleading heartsore and couplet
may I dissolve beside nuptial snore.
