Really it's a stupid word.
All place names are, I suppose;
forgotten, yet still uttered

This man here, the fattened one,
Stresses farcicality,
Thinking English is God's word

What kind of a bag is it?
I know I'm being silly
Yet... let me have my being

Bag in what sense? Dad of whom?
What sort of a register is this?
Before you start to answer

There is an effect backwards
Of what is not meaning
MOOB
So loud some will not survive

Daft as it all is phonemes
Said experimentally
Don't you call that utterance
