Sheffer Crossword Poem Draft

Every family has its designated imp
responsible for every upturned vase
ours was Scott yours may be Ivan
some guy in calvins to excite Leah
we seek novelty our men carve ices
children stashed in rushes on the Nile
always another parquet floor to mop
another chosen one another stepchild
sandwich maker, slave, or swami,
Who remembered the pastrami - you?
all this fuss as though we'll stay atop
once the fire dies we crave the smoke
our afterburner's on so step on it
what are you reading here - runes?
We're loony to listen - step down
have the dignity to demur. Oh dad,
oh datum, oh princess Stephanie.
Another cache for cacophony. Phony.
