Llamas for Lammas

Quoting Chariots of Fire from memory, and apologizing in advance for any inaccuracies, "I believe that God created me for a purpose -- but he also made me fast, and when I pun I feel his pleasure."

For Lammas, then, this classic from the poet Nash:

The one-l lama,

He’s a priest.

The two-l llama,

He’s a beast.

And I will bet

A silk pajama

There isn’t any

Three-l lllama.*

*The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh.

Funny how he overlooked two-m Lammas. Well, even Ogden nods. For me, Lammas will forever be associated with Old Boggy, "Lady of Spain," and blackface minstrels.
