sniggle snarp to the i flee
frumple fram to me and ye
hearts a croom and eyes a breen
word from mouthy to me queen
Bill Breen saw only movies that were clean
about any other kind he wasn't keen.
But a problem arose
for as everyone knows
such movies today have abandoned the screen.
Lucy Loose was a wench unconventional
well known for doing things nonsensical.
She made a public scene
with frisky Billy Breen.
When she up and did the unmentionable.
Tickablee, woe is me
'Tis the blane of fantlee tree
Where buds of greenlee
Sweel and slerl
Magiclee whynd in fantlee curl
One tickablee just fell 'pon me
Ouch! i-vouch, i-pain to me
If I ponder as a perl
'Pon the highest fantlee tree
To breen a bud so green grandlee
Sweel and swerl, woe is me!
