#200 plays with etymology

Messed-up mechanisms deep

In the

Sinciput

Can cause the brain to

Hiccu-hiccu-put.

Indeed, many an untimely

End happens with ungoverned

Fun one befriends.

Ut queant laxis...

Uttering in chant their love of St. John,

They see in a hexachord a paragon. 

Glacier

I see the age-old

Crystalline flow

Emitting unrest.

Tree of knowledge?

Deemed seers and oak-knowers, they

Resisted the Romans; seen as

Unchristian were their solemn rites.

In secret they voiced them,

Deciding their choices were day or night.

Stand-in

Vicariously living

In the shoes of another

Cleric, the man,

A cobbler earlier in life, helped

Repair souls.
