Question # 10.) - Substitution (1)
original poem: (page 847 in Literature And It's Writers)
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you -- Nobody--Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise--you know!
How dreary--to be--Somebody
How public--like a frog--
To tell one's name--the livelong June--
To an admiring Bog!
I'm Nike! Who are you?
I'm Nike! Who are you?
Are you -- Nike--Too?
Then we're a pair of shoes!
Don't tell! they'd advertise us on TV!
How dreary--to be--a Shoe
How Humiliating--like a bath being forced onto a cat--
to be on one's feet--the lifelong Dream--
to the sharp rocks we're forced on!

Green tea and Honey
I am Lee. I am Lee. Lee I be. Do you like honey and tea? I do not like it. Lee I be. I do not like honey and tea. Do you like it here or there? I would not like it here or there, I would not like it anywhere. I do not like honey and tea, I do not like it. Lee I be. You do not like honey and tea? I do not like it, Lee I be. Could you, would you, with a goat? I would not, could not, with a goat. I will not, on a boat. Not in the dark, not in a tree, not in a car, you let me be! Lee! If you will let me be I will try it. you will see. Gee! I like honey and tea, I do!! I like it, I must thank thee.
