Topics: classic

Before a Turkish town         The Russians came.     And with huge cannon         Did bombard the same.     They got up close         And rained fat bombshells down,     And blew out every         Vowel in the town.     And then the Turks,         Becoming somewhat sad,     Surrendered every         Consonant they had.      Eugene Fitch Ware.
