To the Chimmmney Sweep
Parasympathetic prroblemms:
alveoli avvoid airrr, ventricles
ciircummvent. Dermis draggs.
Found you iin the phonebook.
Brrush these burrnned briicks
craackk creosote ccatacombs.
Above all ellse, extinnguisssh
shaadowws of former flames.
Etch exactttly. Make mortaar
millky, sooothe trachea ache.
Bring brooms. Severral sizes.
Remove resiiduual soot, seeal
rraw roots of naaked nerrves.
Huurry: hearth hhhhesitated.
Incenndiary eventt imminent.
