Glutton For Names Poem by Douglas Scotney

To the aryballos I went -
the globular oil-flask with a neck -
to name a fat character in my spoof.

After an arundo - a reed -
I named a thin one.

I also had one who did what she liked;
and a lascivious one, of course.

On the stage before us
spoofed Thearyballs,
Anarundo, Sponty and Sauce.

Sauce was alternatively Salsa,
Sponty could appear as No Fear,
Anarundo was also Down By The River,
but Thearyballs was worst:
he was Worcestershire too,
and Gloves And Shoes,
and Double U, U U,
The Verb To Use,
and Not Use The Noun.
He was N. U. T. N. and Nuttin'.

Oh heck,
simply The Glutton,
I call my globular flask with a neck.
