If the mouses have the noises in a number more as a, then thees wovels is
maybe not phonemic.

OK, OK, I know I shouldn't have, but this is what the beautifully musical rhythm of the last sentence above urged me to concoct as a variation on the theme. Just please don't throw me out, I like Cybalist. And please forgive my scarce knowledge of the English language and its rules of versification.

If the mouses
have the noises
in a number more as a,
then thees wovels
aren't phonemic,
but maybe
just onanistic
'cause the mouses
utter noises
much more various
than /e/ and /i/
when they wank and wank and wank
(intellectually), sez I.
