Without an S

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.
