The more I think

The more I think about it the bigger it gets
The bigger I think about it the harder it gets
The harder I think about it the sharper it gets
The sharper I think about it the pointier it gets
The pointier I think about it the sorer it gets
The sorer I think about it the sicker it gets

The mirth I think about it the laughter it gets
The bisque I think about it the lobster it gets
The morgue I think about it the deader it gets
The years I think about it the older it gets
The sage I think about it the wiser it gets
The sound I think about it the louder it gets
The money I think about it the richer it gets

The think I get about it the better it gets
The gets I better about it the thinker it bets
The better I get about it the thinker it mores
The more it thinks about it the lesser I’m for
The less I know the more it gets
The less I am the more I know.
