There once was a big sphynx before me
She, too, had decided to vore me.
I decided to sit
And commit to the bit
Of this poem, now writ.
Could she tolerate it?
This grotesque counterfeit
Crime against English lit.
Til at last she admit
She would have to permit
Me to go, so I split.
The end.

there once was a sphinx from thebes
who had a whole thing against leaves
a man played her a ballad
(just once!) 'bout a salad
she vanquished him with arms lockheed (martin)

what is a poem
but just
a sentence
with extra steps
