When you want to die in state
And you need a pyramid,
Don’t offer up a camel, mate.
That’s not the proper quid.
Let me help you with your Latin, kid.
It’s not that all profound.
You need the quo to get the quid
And not the other way around.
Say, you do not like your ego
And prefer another id.
As they’ll tell you in Oswego.
You must let them see your quid.
Or say you’d like a Javelin.
Just respect the White House bid.
Stop your country from unravelin’
For a small (wink, wink) (hint, hint) quid.
Edmund Conti will accept any offer for his poetry. Lucky for you, it's free verse.
