"I'll give you some sting to cry about!" yells the Hurly Burly Man as he hurls burs at a teething baby.
It's a mean thing to do, but that's just what the Hurly Burly Man does, he's been doing it for years.
The baby can't do much except grow teeth.
Unluckily, the baby can't grow teeth fast enough to defend itself from the Hurly Burly Man.
Luckily, the baby is bundled up pretty well, no exposed skin.
The burs stick harmlessly to the baby's toque and snowsuit and mittens.


"I hear you're a pote!" yells the Hurly Burly Man as he hurls burs at me. "I'll give you some sting to pome about!"
It's a mean thing to do, but that's just what the Hurly Burly Man does, he's been doing it for years.
I can't do much except write pomes.
Unluckily, I can't write pomes fast enough to defend myself from the Hurly Burly Man.
Luckily, I'm bundled up pretty well, no exposed skin.
The burs stick harmlessly to the my motifs and metaphors and allusions.
