Reserata Carcerem XLIX

Yearning yore rehearsed a sage t' pawn;
voluptuous voice moist myst'ry pored:
"Holla, retire thou yet t' cursed castle,
o' yond thy lanky limb nudge nimble?"

Punctured pawn leased t' taunted tongue - mute.
His stance ö porous papyrus drew,
b' which sewn sage's ire was kindled;
rustic rage trod brain's track 'n dribbles.

Ergo traded fists th' sage with pawn;
cloned catastrophe pruned plagued call.
Drooling death per ho skipped t' lured lieu,
ä gaunt grief basked 'n gay ben's belie puked.

Anon, lift'd sewn sage punctured pawn,
'n' apprised Athena oped breath's gourd.
