Book Description

The Anguish Languish is an ersatz language constructed from similar-sounding English language words. It was created by Howard L. Chace and he later collected his stories and poems in this book, Anguish Languish. It is not really a language but rather a humorous homophonic transformation. Example: "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut" means "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Mural: Yonder nor sorghum stenches shut ladle gulls stopper torque wet strainers" means: "Moral: Under no circumstances should little girls stop to talk with strangers".
