You mumblers and raspers Of resp'rat'ry rattle: Open your throats! Forsake ye! the gaspers, You quoters of cattle And prattle of goats! Or lay ye with horses Whose tongue ne'er divorces Those ivory choppers, Those sibilant stoppers; You lispers: beware, Whether stallion or mare, While you nibble your oats! Stop your speech-stumbling! Go suckle an udder You dizzy, damp calfs! Restrain your talk-tumbling, And swallow your stutter Nor utter foul laughs! You outspoken nags Mimic bolt-broken stags As you bleed allegations Down paths of my patience And clatter your antlers; What heavy-hoofed ranters For no one's behalf!

Four-Legged Locution
You mumblers and raspers Of resp'rat'ry rattle: Open your throats! Forsake ye! the gaspers, You quoters of cattle And prattle of goats! Or lay ye with horses Whose tongue ne'er divorces Those ivory choppers, Those sibilant stoppers; You lispers: beware, Whether stallion or mare, While you nibble your oats! Stop your speech-stumbling! Go suckle an udder You dizzy, damp calfs! Restrain your talk-tumbling, And swallow your stutter Nor utter foul laughs! You outspoken nags Mimic bolt-broken stags As you bleed allegations Down paths of my patience And clatter your antlers; What heavy-hoofed ranters For no one's behalf!
