puffpuff... AMBARDS... DOMING...RUNEL... (241064) / Houedard, Dom Sylvester., 1964

 Item
Identifier: CC-55825-9999344
Scope and Contents

Perhaps the title of this shaped poem of a locomotive crossing a bridge should be broken up to am-bards since "ambards" is not a recognizable word. Thus, 'bard in medieval Gaelic and British culture a bard means a professional poet, employed by a patron, ch as a monarch or nobleman, to commemorate the patron's ancestors and to praise the patron's own activities. The second line that repeats the word 'doming' means smoking an amount of weed to yourself that would usually be consumed by more than one person. The third line that repeats the word, 'runel' is undefinable. It might be a misspelled word for 'runnel' that means brook. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
