With a Freezing Ice Pick

There once was a jockey from Reykjavik
Who'd hit his horse with a freeing ice pick -- 
   The horse, it would stumble
   The jockey, he'd grumble --
"Shut-up, you old nag, I've a charcoal brick!"

Well,... I have to confess that this one flew straight out of the wilds of my imagination... Perhaps they race unicorns there in Reykjavik! :) gw
