Allatonceness

Allatonceness, tinnel miss
a blue portent or switch

a knock down drag
ensconced or fowlered
pent a cudgel lightly

Hint if is
unquantify
to Tuesday no known no

ounce pinch mix
a tabled spoon
breathe reg-
is—tra—tion blue

fine point on
base-lined hewn
the to of go.
The hit or wish
to paler quail
no queue a
roaning marker

A rolling drag hired
(mint tough sell)
she sells seashells
inna—minna—ea—polis
tall—tall tall tall
shunt and postered
pricking by the
puffin’d wonder
ring.
