For Lammas, then, this classic from the poet Nash:
The one-l lama,He’s a priest.The two-l llama,He’s a beast.And I will betA silk pajamaThere isn’t anyThree-l lllama.**The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh.
Funny how he overlooked two-m Lammas. Well, even Ogden nods. For me, Lammas will forever be associated with Old Boggy, "Lady of Spain," and blackface minstrels.
