words are like worms
             keys are like farms

        A man in a canoe -
        a woman in a shoe!

      A circle is a silly shape -
      I saw one at the sauna
      the size of a sultana grape
      self-harming in the corner.

    I once saw a lady with cheese on her neck
    and apples and honey and bees on her neck
    and beavers and monkeys and trees on her neck
    and elbows and shouders and knees on her neck.

        spin a winner
        hide a spider
        shake a baker
        mail a sailor

    If grass were blue I'd marry you,
      if eggs were green I'd hurry.
    If lies were true I'd smell your shoe
      and if it rained, I'd worry.

  I want a bird that knows my name,
    I want a bird that flies.
  I want a bird that goes to sleep,
    I want a bird that cries.
  I want a bird that rings a bell
    while closing both its eyes;
  I want a bird that taps my shoulder
    when the laundry dries.

        When green and red had gone to bed,
        then pink and brown would paint the town
            careering 'round without a sound
            until they found the Underground;

        the Underground (when it was found)
        gave such a thrill they'd often spill
            their sticky drink on someone's mink
            then give a wink and say "let's clink?"

        but such a clink and such a wink
        were not enough when things got rough -
            they wished instead they'd thought ahead
            and stayed in bed with green and red...

    I once knew some colourful mice
        (one purple, one yellow, one blue)
    who liked to eat lentils and rice
        or, sometimes, asparagus stew;
            but if they ate spice
            the scene wasn't nice
        for, after a mouthful or two,
            they'd turn pale as ice
            and each pay the price
        in painful, extraordinary poo. 

        King Arthur, lifting up the Holy Grail,
            discovered (in the cup) a beaver's tail.
        The sight of it made Arthur turn so pale
            that someone shouted: "pour the king some ale!"
