• I know a little man both ept and ert.
  An intro-? extro-? No, he's just a vert.
  Sheveled and couth and kempt, pecunious, ane,
  His image trudes upon the ceptive brain.
  
  When life turns sipid and the mind is traught,
  The spirit soars as I would sist it ought.
  Chalantly then, like any gainly goof,
  My digent self is sertive, choate, loof.
