breaded and deep fried lakeside; that's heaven....

HE SPENT HIS PENSION
IN CISALPINE GAUL
WHERE HE RAN

The shiny, pearly shell
To finally bear

Shoveler Jim
A shoveler duck is Jim
A duckling afraid to swim
He stands on a log
With Lily The Frog
So everyone laughs at him
Gracie Gull says he is dim
Silly I'm not explains Jim

For Lucius Pike
Just dinner I am to him

Lucius, Gracie and Jim
And stories they tell
Until the church bell
Then happily sing a hymn...
