100,000,000,000,000 poems

At five precisely out went La Marquise
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
The understanding critic firstly sees
That suede ferments is not at all well known
The roundabout eats profits made on swings
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
They both are right not unformed smatterings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
The fasting fakir doesn't smell the less
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
On wheels the tourist follows hos hostess
But I can understand you Brogher Gog
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
They're kings we're mammal-cousins hi ho hum


Raymond Queneau
