At 2a.m. Sir Robin found
His navel turned pitch black
His lady put her gown on
And ran off to fetch the quack

The pelican flew very low
When landing in the pan
The ducks all dived for cover
When their leader shouted, “Man!”

The catamaran chased the mouseamaran
All over the bay till he caught her
So the mouseamaran called the dogamaran
And begged him to come and to thwart her

Trapeze troupe artists Kate and Lyle
Performed their act, “The Helicopter”
Though dating sweetly for a while —
When she began to nag, he dropped ’er

Little Red Riding Hood saw an optician
In response to the woodcutter’s fervent petition
The resemblance is not what you’d label ‘uncanny’
But she can’t tell a great hairy wolf from her granny
