Language Poem Written For Sound Alone AKA Suck Mine

[WRITTEN AFTER HEARING A WELL KNOWN POET READ WORK ALOUD IMPRESSING HIS OR HERSELF GRANDLY WITH HOW MANY SYLLABLES HE OR SHE CAN CONCOCT IN RHYTHM WITH NO EXCUSE FOR MEANING EXCEPT ACCIDENTALLY, I THINK, NOT THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, IT WAS MORE JUST THE WINNING SMIRK HUNG IN HIS/HER VOICE THAT REALLY MADE MY TEETEE TICKLE ITCHY AND UNSERENE]

7, 9, 104-s, OR: LITHUANIAN SUNDAY LILY-PANTHIAN

Meerspop sunzit leepish buble,
collum neerdrum summit spueam.
Il koppen-vet koin zuddum nahz-hat

Spoot ungergish i'vellereep dennum ip ten
