He had a big schnozzola and sang with bold hat and smile. Heard on the old Victrola, one of his tricks to beguile. It was fo, lo, dee, oh, do, in old New Orleans city. But that was ages ago. Then, a new little ditty. It's expressed something like this: Ink a dink a dink a doo! Does it mean I want a kiss? A way to say I love you? Now you should have won the game by the funny lyrics shared. You should have surmised the name and the middle stanzas spared. Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

I wont mention any names Laf but I believe his wife had a failing with her speech. Every now and then she had to stop to breathe... I think he may have been attributed to saying that poor people with small noses had to breathe all day, but one good sniff with his schnozzola, and he was good for a week. Fun poem my friend !
