Tell me, O Octopus, I begs,
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I'd call me Us.
Pretty, pretty eggs.
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass--
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Ever hung out with your son in the backyard, flushing pig intestine out with a garden hose? Ah, that's what memories are made of.

Little boys with stabs and cuts,
sticking licking piggy guts.
Terrys old and Terrys newish.
All quite faithful, but not Jewish.
Nice tight rhyme-scheme, Jon. Can you write one with a rhyme for "Intestine"?
