I've been meaning to post some excerpts from _Anguish_Languish_, an
out-of-print classic by the linguist Howard L. Chace, for some time.  The
following songs are from the section of his book entitled "Lath Thing Thum
Thongs!"

     Fryer Jerker

Fryer Jerker, Fryer Jerker,
Dormer-view?  Dormer-view?
Sunny lay martini!
Sunny lay martini!
Drink, drank, drunk.
Drink, drank, drunk.

     Fur Hazy Jelly Gut Furlough

Fur hazy jelly gut furlough
Fur hazy jelly gut furlough
Fur hazy jelly gut furlough
Witch not bawdy candor nigh

     Hive Ban Walking Honor Roil Rut

Hive ban walking honor roil rut
Oiler laugh lung dare;
Hive ban walking honor roil rut
Jester pester tam aware.
Conjure herder weasels blurring,
Blurring sore oily inner moan?
Conjure herder chalron shorting,
Diner want chew blur debt hone?

     Hormone Derange

O gummier hum warder buffer-lore rum
Enter dare enter envelopes ply,
Ware soiled 'em assured adage cur-itching ward
An disguise earn it clotty oil die.

Harm, hormone derange,
Warder dare enter envelopes ply,
Ware soiled 'em assured adage cur-itching ward
An disguise earn it clotty oil die.

If sufficient interest is shown, I may post a fairy tale by Mr. Chace, entitled
"Ladle Rat Rotten Hut."
