Ollendorfian Triolets

I am the brother
Of the good coachman:
Where is his mother?
I am the brother.
You are the father
Of the gardener:
I am the brother
Of the good coachman.

Where's my knife?
I've lost my cat.
I want roast beef.
Where's my knife?
I've killed the Jew.
Do we have to fight?
Where's my knife?
I've lost my cat.

The beautiful cousin
Of my daughter-in-law's son
Lives in my kitchen,
The beautiful cousin!
Your ugly neighbour
Has never known
The beautiful cousin
Of my daughter-in-law's son.

Reflector, Feb., 1888.
