Jerkuns And Gherkins



So you know how to say
how June says 'gherkins'
in 'A Painter Of Our Time',
John Berger spells it 'jerkuns'.

Jerkuns are most likely gherkins,
because June says,
'he bottles it all up like jerkuns.'

'he' is George;
she is June;
they're married;
play with gs and js
they most likely do -
he Gorge, she Goon.
Most likely June
calls George 'Jerkuns' too.
