Como se Llama?

The one 'l' Lama
He's a priest.
The two 'l' LLama
He's a beast.
And I will bet a silk pajama
That there is no three 'l' LLLama.

I don't remember who wrote that, but it was the first poem in the freshman poetry book we studied in High School. I graduated almost 25 years ago.

Can anyone explain why that stupid poem is still in my head?

I think I may need help.

Shalom.

Ogden Nash. They have 3 alamahs at Boston Fire Stations all the time.

A 3"l" lllama is a big fire. Written, I believe, by Ogden Nash.

Try Ogden Nash as the author. He also wrote "If it's a panther, don't anther."
