To Stress or Delete? To Pitar or to Pater?

SCHWA:

sep(a)rate, 


choc(o)late,

elab(o)rate


To pitar (Sanskrit) 


or to pater (Latin and Ancient Greek)?


That is the question.   


Whether to postulate 


"schwa indogermanicum" 


or simple evolve 


into a theory of the so-called 


laryngeals?


She had a certain Schwa de vive.  


To stress or delete?  


To Pitar or to Pater?  


Pataphysics and sidekicks


Sick kids sucking sidecars


Mouth breathers sing the Hard R's


Hardy Har Hars.


Mehs and metaphysics


Smiley faces and schwa swingers


She sings of paranormals and the 


polyamorous, dischords and dialtones,


Morphing into melons 


Music and mucilage.


Oh, my.  Don't cry over the spilt milt.


He's a Spoilt rod with a spare in the trunk.


Be prepared for George Peppard,


Go lightly treading on his 


Moon in June rivers.


"hey they look like Jesus 


standing on a surfboard, 


paddling the sick waters of False Creek."
