When the poet, Mr. Pennyline,

Is inspired by beauteous Aniline,

Products chemical and gas-tarry

Give the modern Muse new mastery.

Mauve may chime with love, and mauver

Form a decent rhyme to lover;

While (and if not, why not?) mauvest

Antiphonetic proves to lovest.

(Verse erotic always sports

Tricksily with longs and shorts.
