One
blah arrived and then there came
A
second blah; twas just the same!
I
searched my heart, my spleen, my knee
Why
had two blahs befallen me?
What
strange event, what dire misprison
Had
said to two blahs “Be ye risen!
Though
courage shrink and wisdom fail
Go
both ye forth, ye twain e-mail!”
Perplexed,
I went to ask the Shah
What
could it mean, this double blah?
The
Shah, a man of noble mien,
Was
sipping from a brass tureen.
He
bid me speak and have no fears
Though
he’d been dead for thirteen years
I
asked him plain: What should I do
With
blah ‘clept one and eke blah two?
His
fingers drummed his shaven pate
He
said “My son, or soon or late,
To
peasant, poet, saint and sinner
Asleep,
awake, or over dinner
Reciting
life’s do re mi fa
There
must come the ill note blah
Why
is this and whence come blahs?
No
one knows, not even shahs.”
