The hyperbole dear to our heart,
And the slang without which speech is "slow,"
Is to make us a "people apart."
Oh, to say (without fines) "quite too-too!"
For dear "awfully jolly" I yearn.
I would "chuck" all my friends, sweet—save you—
To the pathways of Gush to return.
Eh? "Chuck" did I say? That is Slang!
And "Sweet?" That's decidedly Gush!
Oh, let the A.G.S. go hang!
