Shrifts, All Sizes
One hears of someone getting a short shrift, of course
But where does he get a shrift? At Amazon?
And are there any long shrifts available,
Fashioned in Sri Lanka or Honduras?
I have never felt the need for a shrift
Pajamas are just fine for me, thank you
But if I had one it would need to be
A long shrift, please, since I am rather tall
On the subject of shrifts
I don’t mean to be a bother or a bore
But can I buy one cheap at the local shrift store?
