Where no tyranny is tolerable

1:
This came to me in the shower.

I have just discovered
The twenty-seventh letter of the alphabet.
However,
Because it isn’t listed
On this keyboard,
Because I never learned of it in school,
Because I can’t describe to you
The shape of it,
Or even make
The hideous ghastly sound it represents,
I can’t tell you
much of anything about it,
not much of anything at all.
So …
Should I take another shower? …

2:
This one’s absolutely true!
I heard of it on NPR.
Archaeologists found a tablet
On which were described
Strange Sumerian figures.
After much discussion
And scholarly debate,
They deciphered four Sumerian words
Etched in clay.
The four Sumerian words,
As translated into English were:
Bah,
Bah,
Bah,
And Bah.
So …
Should I take another shower? …

Jaime

A great challenge...
The only thing missing is the rubber duckie... and the opening song from Othello!
I will give this a try. smiles ThisDiamond

Did Jaime bump his head in the shower? And then cried bah? LOL. We'll have to talk about that missing letter.
