CINCUBOTTI

I was going through a box containing some old photos and papers the other day and ran across this. It may take several readings to get the correct rhythm - reading aloud sometimes helps!

CINCUBOTTI

THE AYERSUM AND THE TRAIBYE WENT OUT TO DAK ONE DAY.
THE GRAYSON’S IBLIGATO WAS RASNIC AND AQUAY;
BUT KOTTER SINRIDAMSKI PLADONA ABERFOO,
AND STRAKY GRAMMED FLIDOTSOM AND HIBERVESY, TOO.
SO NEEKUM BREE LACOOSCIOUS FOR IMPREDAY OR MORE,
UNTIL REDITKAMOSA PAVEMPTIOUS DARIBORE.
AVINA WOR STUBENSON BRAVITA CAMIDOT,
THOUGH UFANAK MAGOPHA. THIS IS BLANK VERSE, IS IT NOT?
