… the memoir about UD’s Northwestern University professor, Erich Heller. I’ll have more to say today about the book and the memories it stirred, but the nonsense poems inspired me to try one of my own.

Every black pit bull speaks some Lithuanian. If you try to engage them in Lett, or Ukrainian They’ll look at you rudely, as if you’re insanian. The custom’s quite different among Pomeranians: With them it is Latvian during their trainian. Polish? Or German? They claim it’s arcanian. With lhasas it’s loopy because they’re Lacanian. They’ll mirror your speech act whatever you’re sayingin – A curious feature too hard to explainian. Whatever the tongue of your canine campanian Conversing with them will transcend entertainingian And move straight to the realm of the supermundanian.

Thanks, Jeremy. I’ll fix it.
