Antiseptic Pervert

Posted on February 22, 2020 by Todd Ehlers

Louis Pasteur

It turns out that Louis Pasteur

Was, psychically, less than all pure.

              A room he’d secure

              With a hidden peep viewer:

Old Louis was quite the voyeur!

True Scots

Locke

Empirically writing, John Locke

Philosophized next to a loch.

                The loch was Loch Lomand:

                All Gaelic—not Norman’d,

So John Locke’s loch book was a lock.

Border collie

My dad and I, we have a way

Of complicating words we say.

To you “percale” is our “purr-COL-lee.”

Excuse us once, just once per collie.
