PSYCHOLOPHON by FRANK GELETT BURGESS

First Line: TWINE THEN THE RAYS
Last Line: THUS I INHIBIT!
Subject(s): NONSENSE;

TWINE then the rays
Round her soft Theban tissues!
All will be as She says,
When that dead past reissues.
Matters not what nor where,
Hark, to the moon's dim cluster!
How was her heavy hair
Lithe as a feather duster!
Matters not when nor whence;
Flittertigibbet!
Sound makes the song, no sense,
Thus I inhibit!
