Also: dengue = deŋˈ-gē
The nasty aedes may bring thee
Both yellow fever and dengue.
It wiped out the cast
DS:9 to the last—
Save for the immune Ferengi.

Black Square
Canadian Frenchman, Francois,
Speaks English in heavy patois.
He bought a new chair—
It’s black and it’s square—
He’s proud of his soft, new noir squoir.
Steely’s Homonym
A smithy, the name of McFeely,
Was proud of his battle site, really.
He wrought up a marker
But as it grew darker
Foes stole the steely steel stele.
Antiseptic Pervert
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
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.
Pianist Speaking Disorder
The lissome composer, Franz Liszt,
Was affected by labial lisps.
Hungarian Rhapsodies
Proved the right remedies
To render Liszt’s lisp to a wisp.
Zederess – Zed or Ess?
A question that’s novelly dry, sir:
Is the “s” to be soft in T. Dreiser?
Or should it be “z”?
Conundrum to me
That spurs me to drink down Budweiser.
Probable Change
Probability master, Pascal,
Calculated a pass at a gal.
“I’ve got a queer grin.
“The odds are thus thin.
“I’ve a better chance with a gay pal.”
Feline Discrimination
Of all of the cat kingdom’s paucities
That lie in the onerous laws, kitties,
Passed by the hogs
Adjured by the dogs:
The ban of construction of paw cities.
Cold Buildings
