Spell- Memory- Check Poem by Douglas Scotney
Spell- Memory- Check
'Listen Sam:
except in a German poem,
a 'fromm' is a stinker
and enough to turn me off -
the poet didn't even bother to tinker.
'In a German poem it means 'gentle', Sam.
'Fromm' as a lamb.
'It's 'pious' too.'
'And a 'Treter' is a comfortable shoe.'
