Q.R.V. Hikuptah
0 cooking sherry makes me merry,
Ido not care for savoir faire,
And prune juice makes me pee,
Or jamais de ma vie,
But nothing makes me get the shakes
Or deja vu; for me c'est tout-
So quick as Q.R.V.
I live for Q.R.V.
It pickles beets and bleaches sheets,
Please tell me true, what can d d To make you care for me?
It flutters by, , a butterfly, It flaps aberrantly;
It would be stronger and live longer If fed on Q.R.V.
-Besides, of course, becoming hoarse In praise of Q.R.V.
It ices cakes and deadens aches.
It's splendid Q.R.V.
How many faces keep

lonly live that may give Myself unceasingly
To scribbling tracts made up of facts Concerning O.R.V.
With God Almighty being flighty,
If it is far from where you are
And absent frequently,
Do you suppose God really knows
To where you seem to
be,
It's up to you to make it through
Then reappear
What He has done to me?
from there to here
The day-with Q.R.V.
