Vile Vodka

There was once an English racehorse whose name was spelled Potoooooooo. It was pronounced Pot-8-o's - Potatoes. That is the way you should pronounce potoooooooo in the first line of this verse. But the ooooooooooo in the thrid line is harder to solve; when you count the o's, they come to eleven, and eleven o's do not make a sensible word. All right. Think again. There were eight o's run together in the first line, and eleven in the third. Eleven o's are more o's that eight o's, aren't they? Now all you have to do is think of a word that sounds like "more o's". (The word means "gloomy, ill-humored".)

Who of vodka distilled from potoooooooo partakes
Should take warning:
He'll be jolly at night, but ooooooooooo when he wakes
In the morning.
-W.R.E.
