The Merry Life of Language is a humorous ebook (verse) on The English Language
by Ernest Slyman
How do you know it’s Literature? It wears a frilly white dress and asks you for your affection? You give it a sparkling diamond ring, it slips off her finger, but she catches it before it hits the floor. Her red lips pucker. You kiss. One of you hugs the other. What’s that? A persian cat sitting on her head, swishing its tail at the Moon.
Literature with long arms, big hands, a curiosity that makes of us its child, holds us close as though we would were made of words.

How do you know it’s Literature?
It wears a frilly white dress
and asks you for your affection?
You give it a sparkling diamond ring,
it slips off her finger,
but she catches it before it hits the floor.
Her red lips pucker. You kiss.
One of you hugs the other.
What’s that? A persian cat
sitting on her head,
swishing its tail at the Moon.
Literature with long arms, big hands,
a curiosity that makes of us its child,
holds us close
as though we would were made of words.
