A NURSERY RHYME.

The typewriter is a Remington Deluxe Model 5 from 1948.

Remington Deluxe Model 5

We are three brethren out of Spain;
We can’t decide on plum or plain,
Or, for that matter, grass or rose.
But maybe you can help—who knows?
The rose is red, the grass is green;
The orange is (oddly) tangerine.
The orange is in a different class,
Admittedly, from rose or grass,
But maybe we should take all five:
The plum, the plain, and, sakes alive,
The rose, the grass, the tangerine,
Or rather orange is what we mean.
We’ll take them all and turn again,
And soon we shall be back in Spain.

  1. poet of little renoun but some reverb says:

    If you choose the plain you’ll get the rain,
    especially if you’re in Spain

    If you choose the plum they’ll pour on rum
    that’s where the cheapest brandy comes from

    Dealers deal grass fortified with bug frass
    It’s smoked while drinking glasses of premium sass
    parilla

    The rose may be red but remember Larson said
    As you travel life’s road, keep in your head
    to stop and eat the roses
    (then talk of it on TED)
