From Little Richard the Second:
Words hurt not
Because ‘blue’
Is not blue
But words are
Pebbles and waves
An ocean
That is not
Waving and is
Not an ocean

Filled with wry puns, clever turns of phrases, and tautologies that knock the reader over from a slant, Little Richard the Second adds a bit of tutti frutti to the regalia of the eternal bard.
