A snowball bobbed upon the waves
That raged just like a fireplace,
And as it rested for a while
A breeze blew in its face.
His friendly Salmon, all cod eyed
Ate laughter from a can,
And having had a belly full
Then chuckled some to Stan.
Now Stan, whose nose was Hering red,
Knew something was afoot,
And clopping like a boot on heat
Began to tut tut tut!
A parka with a sandal shore
Good fellow, dim but sweet,
Puffed out his dinghy lips in jest
And sailed off with a Greek.
And there they met all one an’ all,
Together bound by string,
And little bits of shaving foam
That made a noise like sing.
