Without an S -- A nest would be a net.
Without an S -- The west would just be wet.
What happiness!
That pest could be a pet,
⁠Without an S.

Without an S -- A spin would be a pin.
Without an S -- Your skin would be your kin.
And I confess
That sin is really in,
⁠Without an S.

⁠A spine would then be a pine,
⁠And swine would turn to wine,
⁠A stick would be a tick.
⁠When you were sick,
⁠You wouldn't feel sick,
⁠You'd only feel ick!

Without an S -- A slap would be a lap.
Without an S -- A strap would be a trap.
Your hands can't clasp,
No, they can only clap,
⁠Without an S.

⁠A scar would then be a car,
⁠A star would turn to tar,
⁠A mast would be a mat.
⁠Try running fast,
⁠You couldn't be fast,
⁠You'd only be fat!

Without an S -- A ship would be a hip.
Without an S -- A slip would be a lip.
When you undress,
A strip would be a trip,
⁠Without an S.
