QUESTION

The Mother of the Witch of Endor
Said, "Griffy thy account now render
In a jiffy. Oh alack
Why revive the poor lost Yak?
hy repeat your stale old poem,
You can bet that we all know 'em.
Seek some new track
Drop the Poor Yak."

ANSWER

I resurrect the Yak because
          There's a fault in verse thirteen
In my last book—Oh such flaws!
One line is quite omitted. More's
          The pity, Oh how mean! That base
Type Setter—may he burn
          In everlasting brine.
          The guy left out this line
"Bumping like butter in a churn"
          Search, study verse thirteen,
Look there's fault in line the six.
There's no butter bumping, nix.
          How criminal, how mean!
Go and have a look
In my other book.
          Take a look alack
          I revive the Yak.
