O, Mouth

 an ode, in abc... form


O, mouth,
Abyss of appetite,
  Bureau of belching,
Cannon of cursing,
  Dungeon of tongue,
Emitic exit,
  Fanatic of food.

O mouth,
  Groom of gluttony,
Hall of hiccups,
  Inventor of intrigue,
Joker and jester,
  Knight of bite,
Lover of lick and kiss.

O mouth,
  Muse of mucous,
Nobleman of No,
  Obnoxious Opinionator,
Penthouse of Prevarication,
  Quarrelsome quipster,
Rude rogue of rebuke,
  Soothing sayer.

Tabernacle of teeth,
  Union of utterance,
Vector of vocabulary,
  Wagon of waggery,
Xanadu of flu,
  Yodeler and yeller,
Zone of zest, O, mouth.
