’Tis something, friend, of a lingual trick
To say “Seboois” and “Wassataquoick,”
“Lunksoos,” is tame and “Nesourdneheunk,”
But what do you say to a verbal chunk
To chew at once of the size of this:
“Pok-um-kes-wango-mok-kessis”?
I don’t believe’twould phase a man
To bellow out “Lah-kah-hegan
His windpipe scarcely would get a crook
By spouting forth, “Pong-kwahemook,”
