'Just the place for a Snark!', the Boatman cried [The Agent Apsley]

'What? Here? In Woolworths?' I replied [fester]

'But this is the place that the last Snark died!' [madge]

(Shot full of lead, most in the head [fester]

We soon decided he was dead) [madge]

'Just the place for a Snark,' the Boatman said [fester]

As he filled his boots with high-class lead; [Apsley]

I snarled "Can't you hear? The last one's DEAD!" [E Greejius]

He shook once his head, with remorse and grief [Apsley]

(He'd succeeded the Bellman as Snarkist-In-Chief). [E Greejius]

'Just the place for a Snark!!', the Boatman roared [Apsley]

"When we catch it we'll truss it with silken cord". [E Greejius]

And these words he uttered to his noble lord [Apsley]

While piping 10 litres of cream aboard [Grayman]

(Such were the goods he could afford) [Apsley]
