Short Shrift, Long Shrift, Everybody's Gotta Shrift - a little nonsense

Shrifts, All Sizes

 

One hears of someone getting a short shrift, of course

But where does he get a shrift? At Amazon?

And are there any long shrifts available,

Fashioned in Sri Lanka or Honduras?

 

I have never felt the need for a shrift

Pajamas are just fine for me, thank you

But if I had one it would need to be

A long shrift, please, since I am rather tall

 

On the subject of shrifts

 

I don’t mean to be a bother or a bore

But can I buy one cheap at the local shrift store?
