“ Some say that they witnessed a Mermaids’ Dance,
Some say that they saw the Graboon;
Some say that they went in an ice-cream boat
To visit the Man in the Moon.

The truth we never shall know ”

Now a Bandolier who wallops, you know,
Is not a respectable person;
And a delicate subject he is, by the way,
For a poet to have to write verse on. ”
