Edwin Parker Twombly
nicknamed now as 'Cy'
He loved the calligraphic 'doodle'
creating this style in oddle by oodle
Cockapoos, Labradoodles,
Cavapoos and Oodle Spoodles,
Sprockerpoos, Irish Troodles,
Maltipoos or simply Schnoodles
Multitudes of deviant Doodles,
Poos and cute expensive Toodles,
Consequences of canoodles
Carried out with hoochey Poodles
Woodle's sidekick Noodle
Bought a cab in the oodle
He fell on the ditch
Hey that was a glitch
The whole kit an' caboodle
"The whole kit an' caboodle" taken from The Valley of the Moon by Jack London
