When the moon hits your eye,
Like a big pizza pie,
That's amore.

When an eel bites your hand,
And that's not what you planned,
That's a moray.

When our habits are strange,
And our customs deranged,
That's our mores.

When your horse munches straw,
And the bales total four,
That's some more hay.

When Othello's poor wife,
Becomes stabbed with a knife,
That's a Moor, eh?

When a Japanese knight,
Uses his sword in a fight,
That's Samurai.

When your sheep go to graze,
In a damp marshy place,
That's a moor, eh?

When your boat comes home fine,
And you tie up her line,
That's a moor, eh?

When you ace your last tests,
Like you did all the rest,
That's some more "A"s!

When on Mt. Cook you see,
An aborigine,
That's a Maori.

Alley Oop's homeland has,
A space gun with pizzazz,
That's a Moo ray...

A comedian ham,
With the name Amsterdam,
That's a Morey.

When your chocolate graham,
Is so full and so crammed,
That smore, eh.

When you've had quite enough,
Of this dumb rhyming stuff,
That's "No more!", eh?

It was Dean Martin I think. The poetry sounds better when you sing it slightly tipsily. Or listen that way either.

Aw, Myr. TEd saw your pun and raised you. I think I saw that coming...

And yes, Zed, that was Dean Martin(i).

Yes, exactly what I was hoping to prevent.

In my blender with ease
I visualize some whirled peas
That's a frappe!

I vote for: Carrot roots a la Frappe of blended peas with mixed champignon's juice sauce.


BTW. The post printing function is not responding. Is this my computer or maybe a general problem? (thanks if anyone could let me know)

Where's Michael? Perhaps off looking for birds, between rain storms, eh?

Speaking of Arabic, the "l" in "lute" is a remnant of the "al" in the Arabic name "al-oud".
